Jonah: What If the Story of Running Away Is Also the Story of the Soul?

Jonah knows the direction of his calling and still runs. He goes down, sleeps through a storm, is forced inward, prays from confinement, receives another chance, and then struggles when other people change in ways he did not expect. Read as an inner journey, the book becomes a map of avoidance, awakening, second chances, and the difficulty of allowing both ourselves and others to become more than their past. The question is not only “What am I running from?” It is also “What would I have to believe about change in order to return?”
