Robert Nathan’s Jonah is a lyrical and gently ironic retelling of the biblical tale — the reluctant prophet who flees God’s command, is swallowed by a great fish, and is ultimately sent to preach to the city of Nineveh. Nathan brings his characteristic warmth and whimsy to the ancient story, making it feel both timeless and quietly modern.
A short, beautiful book that reads as parable, myth, and meditation all at once, Jonah rewards readers with its humanity and understated grace. Download this free EPUB and read it in a single sitting.
