An angry prophet.
Why does the book of Jonah end on what is essentially a cliffhanger? In these pages, Timothy Keller provides an answer to the extraordinary conclusion of this biblical parable--and shares the powerful Christian message at the heart of Jonah\'s story..
There is an entire second half to his story--but it is left unresolved within the text of the Bible.
How could one of the most defiant and disobedient prophets in the Bible be compared to Jesus? Jonah\'s journey also doesn\'t end when he is freed from the belly of the fish.

And yet there are unmistakably clear connections between Jonah, the Prodigal son, and Jesus.
Keller makes the case that Jonah was one of the worst prophets in the entire Bible.
In The Prodigal Prophet , pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller reveals the hidden depths within the book of Jonah.
But there\'s much more to Jonah\'s story than most of us realize.

It is also the most misunderstood.
The story of Jonah is one of the most well-known parables in the Bible.
And the surprising message of a merciful God to his people.
A devastating storm.
A feared and loathsome enemy.
