Jonah—it’s a story we learned as kids, but it’s much more than a children’s story. This brief book is, in many ways, a microcosm of God’s relationship to his whole creation in history. Through Jonah’s experiences, he confronts the breadth and depth of God’s mercy. Along the way, he is also exposed as a prophet with his own prejudices, faults, and failures. In the end, the book closes with a question—a question that draws us into the story. How will we respond to God’s relentless grace?
