Book excerpt: To a conservative church in a south-western Ontario town comes Jonah Arias-a troubled, left-leaning, pill-popping United Church minister. Reverend Jonah is young and idealistic, with courage enough to challenge the power-brokers in his small community. When he starts an inappropriate relationship with a young woman in the congregation, and then decides to repatriate a former member of the church expelled for being in a lesbian relationship, the ensuing battle threatens to derail Jonah's career and fracture the church. The play, like Reverend Jonah himself, is unafraid to ask the tough questions: Do we have the right to judge one another? What constitutes integrity? What is courage? Are we prepared to embrace rather than censure our fellow human beings? Thoughtful and powerful, Reverend Jonah challenges us to explore the meanings of community in the very broadest sense.
Download or read book The Prodigal Prophet written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An angry prophet. A feared and loathsome enemy. A devastating storm. And the surprising message of a merciful God to his people. The story of Jonah is one of the most well-known parables in the Bible. It is also the most misunderstood. Many people, even those who are nonreligious, are familiar with Jonah: A rebellious prophet who defies God and is swallowed by a whale. But there's much more to Jonah's story than most of us realize. In The Prodigal Prophet, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller reveals the hidden depths within the book of Jonah. Keller makes the case that Jonah was one of the worst prophets in the entire Bible. And yet there are unmistakably clear connections between Jonah, the prodigal son, and Jesus. Jesus in fact saw himself in Jonah. 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. There is an entire second half to his story--but it is left unresolved within the text of the Bible. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "THE ABOLITIONIST" is a three-act play occuring between the years, 1851 - 1861. The protagonist is Jonah MacKenzie, a wealthy minister renowned throughout the nation for his abolitionist activities. His aristocratic wife, Elizabeth, is a partial invalid from a stroke; and their only child, Reuben, adoring his father, has gone on to become a minister as well. In Act I we learn that Jonah is torn between an equally intense love and hatred for his son whom he and his wife have banished. Mary Beaton, a young well-to-do neighbor, once engaged to Reuben but secretly in love with his father Jonah, comes to visit and implores Jonah to find his son and reconcile. Elizabeth, overhearing Mary's entreaties, and wary of the young lady's intentions toward her husband, wheels herself in and commands Mary to leave, never to return. Act II occurs in the past (1851) and focuses upon the abolitionist activities of father and son. We find them in the Free state of Ohio where Jonah delivers an impassioned sermon against slavery in a little church near the Kentucky (a slave state) border, dodging stones. Jonah then visits his friends, Moses and Kathleen Pendleton, leaders of the Underground Railroad. Meantime, Reuben is in Kentucky, present at a slave auction. He is smitten with love for an exquisitely beautiful mulatto named Veronica. She is purchased by a murderous slave-holder, Roland Jeffries, from whose Kentucky plantation early in the morning Reuben rescues her. He brings her to the Pendletons. Determined to retrieve the slave-girl, Jeffries barges in, shooting and wounding Jonah who is barring the way. Reuben enters in time to save Veronica and Jonah. Reuben escorts Veronica on the Underground Railroad to Canada where he proposes marriage to her. At first dissenting, pointing out the probable social consequences, Veronica yields. Though proud of his son's rescue of Veonica, upon learning that his son intends to marry a negro Jonah becomes enraged and forbids the marriage, threatening disinheritance and banishment. The act ends with a soliloquy by Reuben expressing horror at his fate. Act III returns to the present. Elizabeth thinks she has convinced Jonah to accept a professorship he's been offered at Oxford University in England but he is secretly determined to find Reuben. After initial hesitation, but then swayed by Jonah's charm, Reuben and Veronica consent to leave Toronto and live with Jonah. When Jonah returns home to Boston he finds that Elizabeth has suffered a new major stroke which has left her in a vegetative state. Mary, once again in vain, pursues Jonah, who, in turn - flattered by daughter-in-law Veronica's coquetry and succumbing to his own weakness of mind, impulsively attempts to seduce her. Veronica's initial attraction to him quickly turns to repugnance. Once again, Jonah banishes Reuben and his daughter-in-law from his household. The play ends on a catastrophic note just before we hear the booming sound of cannon announcing the advent of The Civil War. Barry Bennett Blander

Book excerpt: When a reluctant Jonah finally entered Nineveh to announce God's grace to the powerful Assyrian empire, God brought about reconciliation between the oppressors and the oppressed. Our world today, inhabited by both oppressors and oppressed, is also in need of reconciliation--between different ethnic backgrounds, socio-economic levels, and gender and sexual orientations. Liberating Jonah describes the significant role that can be played by the underrepresented and oppressed as instruments of reconciliation today. --From publisher's description.
Download or read book Jonah Micah and Nahum written by Kristofer Holroyd and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God’s Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) “Gospel Glimpses” highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) “Whole-Bible Connections” show how any given passage connects to the Bible’s overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) “Theological Soundings” identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on every page of the Bible. The books of Jonah, Micah, and Nahum announce the judgment of God through his prophets—flawed messengers who nevertheless served as vehicles for God’s compassion, calling their hearers to repent of their evil, turn from their false gods, and worship the one true God. Over the course of 12 weeks, this study helps readers see the steadfast love, mercy, and patience of the Lord, the deliverer and protector who offers forgiveness to all who turn from their sin and trust in him. Part of the Knowing the Bible series.
