Summary
Pastor and New York Times best-selling author Timothy Keller uncovers the moving, provocative and urgent message within the book of Jonah and at the heart of the Christian faith.
Most people, even those who are nonreligious, are familiar with the book of Jonah: a rebellious prophet defies God and is swallowed by a whale. Less familiar to most people is the second half of this biblical story - what happens after Jonah is released from the belly of the fish. Yet it is in this second half of the story that one of the most powerful and important lessons of the Bible is hidden.
The famous story shows how, if we would understand the mercy of God, it will always take us in directions we would rather not go, toward people we would rather not care about, and ultimately into the deepest counsels of God. In a time of growing division, The Prodigal Prophet shows us God's love among people and how Christians must listen to God's call even when it takes them to uncomfortable places.

You can be transformed by grace.
I really enjoyed this book which speaks to all about the roots of so many things. If you listen to it, you won't regret it.

Glad I picked this up
New perspective on the book of Jonah and I have a much better understanding about the prophet. There is so much wisdom in this book and if this is how Tim preaches in the church he pastors then I see why its grown so much. The chapter about how we create our own idols just like Jonah is very illuminating and a bit of a challenge.

Powerful, practical and thought provoking
A very helpful exposition of the book of Jonah along with its relevance to us today. Well worth getting and listening to repeatedly for life application

Well worth reading
An honest look at the book and prophet, Jonah. I have read and taught the book many times, but Keller's honest insights on racism, dislike for God, and indifference to those around him bring the story close to our lives and hearts. We are clearly fighting the same issues today! The narrator is fine, but know from the start it's not Tim Keller, which was oddly shocking. Highly recommend.

Keller is brilliant
Thought this was excellent. Will listen again to get more out the book as it is packed with goodness that you can't absord first time round.
