You! Jonah! - Paperback

by Thomas John Carlisle (Author)

This unusual collection of poems, illustrated with monochrome watercolor paintings, takes its inspiration from the Old Testament book of Jonah, the familiar story of the stubborn prophet who did not want to preach to Nineveh. The poems make their incisive observations of contemporary Christianity and will be appreciated in group discussions as well as in private devotions. Some forty of the eighty included poems have appeared in several publications, ranging from Christian Century to the New York Times.
