Jonah’s memoirs recount the heartwarming tale of how the Lord saved a whole city of sinners, through and despite the disobedient reluctance and shocking selfishness of his messenger. God is showing us that his holy love is expressed in our world today primarily in recruiting ordinary, screwed-up people like us into his mission to save sinners. And if he used a reluctant evangelist like Jonah, he can use us too.
