God's Relentless Pursuit of Rebels
by Tullian Tchividjian
I read this book many years ago, and hand wrote a short review. I just found it in my files, unposted. So, I'm posting it today... just about a decade late!
It's a familiar story: rebellious prophet running away from God, gets swallowed whole by a giant whale!
I enjoyed immersing myself in this short read on vacation; to be able to enter into Jonah's story in a deliberate, focussed manner made for thoughtful devotional times. I enjoyed the weaving of artwork and playwright that made it into this treatise on Jonah and the whale.
After reading this book, I read the book of Jonah out loud and it brought a richness and dept of understanding to this minor prophets tale.
