What to expect
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.

Critics Review
-
Tim Keller has established himself as one of the most gifted, trusted and insightful writers in the contemporary American Church ... must-read for anyone preaching through or leading a Bible study on this Old Testament prophet.
Premier Christianity
-
Timothy Keller skilfully addresses the deep implications for our contemporary witness, highlighting a number of issues which
are very relevant to today's divided society while eschewing overt political and cultural partisanship. I heartily recommend this book for all Christians and not only for preachers and teachers.'Methodist Recorder
