Rediscovering Jonah: The Secret of God's Mercy

A great insight on the life of Jonah. A little over my head at times but otherwise a great book.

Noah’s response to God’s call is not so very different from our own. We divide people people into different groups and those who are vastly different from us, we fail to see God’s love for them. This book is full of insights needed for the times we are living in.

This is the most thorough going and teachable books on the subject of Jonah that I've ever seen.

Wonderfully written . Scripture references .Insightful - but, a bit too long of a read .Just saying

A great book on Jonah. Very devotional. The only thing I don’t agree with is that Keller says the Ninevite’s repentance was superficial. But Jesus uses their repentance as an example of true repentance in the gospels.

My reading of this book challenged me about the self-righteousness that lurks in my heart. It is so insidious that we can intellectually know God’s grace and yet think we were somehow special to earn it. Jonah shows us that learning grace is a process and Tim draws this lesson out beautifully. I also enjoyed Tim’s refusal, despite being called a social justice warrior, to separate preaching the gospel from doing justice. Tim maintains that the most loving thing we can give people is the gospel. Yet he challenges us to not separate our faith from works of mercy and love. Finally, Tim is so gifted at showing the gospel theme in every bible book! I am reminded of God’s grace as I read almost every page! Jesus was thrown into the River of God’s wrath so that I can live without condemnation. He is the true Jonah. Praise God!

This book provides a new, insightful look at the old story of Jonah, weather one believes in a loteral Jonah or not, there are many great lessons to be learned. Recommend for Christians and non-Christians.

We just went through this book with our Home Group. It was really helpful was a companion to the Book of Jonah. It is a little long but still very good.
