By: Timothy J. Keller

4.49

Format: 5 pages, Audio CD

An angry prophet. A feared and loathsome enemy. A devastating storm. And the surprising message of …

"Why was God sending a deluge of disappointments? "Tis in this way," the Lord replied, in essence: "I am ANSWERING your prayers for grace and faith. I am only trying to liberate you from the things that enslave you, drive you, and control you. Do you not see that if you loved me supremely, more than anything else, you'd be truly free? Find your all in me."

-Timothy J. Keller, The Prodigal Prophet: Jonah and the Mystery of God's Mercy

"When you indulge yourself in bitter thought, it feels so satisfying to fantasize about payback. But slowly and surely it will enlarge your capacity for self-pity, erode your ability to trust and enjoy relationships, and generally drain the happiness out of your daily life. Sin always the conscience, locks you in the prison of your own defensiveness and rationalizations, and eats you up slowly from the inside."
