Jonah: A Reluctant Prophet and the Mercy of God (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798277719398)

What happens when God calls you to do something you never wanted to do? How do you respond when His plans challenge your comfort, confront your assumptions, or push you toward people you would rather avoid? And what does Jonah's ancient struggle reveal about the way God works in our lives today?

This book explores the questions many believers quietly wrestle with-questions about resistance, obedience, forgiveness, and the surprising ways God pours out His mercy. The story of Jonah is not simply about a man and a great fish; it is a picture of God's heart for both the lost and the reluctant. It shows what happens when a stubborn prophet meets a patient God and discovers that mercy can reach places human judgment refuses to go.

Jonah: A Reluctant Prophet and the Mercy of God guides readers through Jonah's dramatic journey:

• His attempt to escape God's assignment
• The storm that exposes his hidden battles
• His desperate prayer from a dark and lonely place
• Nineveh's unexpected repentance
• His struggle with God's compassion
