Book review — Stubborn Prophet, Faithful God

Book: Stubborn Prophet, Faithful GodAuthor: William BoekesteinPublisher: Evangelical PressRetail Price: £9.99 (buy now)
Review by Sheila Stephen1 minute readSeptember/October 2022, page 28

Stubborn Prophet, Faithful God

This book consists of 183 pages and 234 references and is a study on the book of Jonah. It is theologically and biblically informed with some very interesting excursuses, for example, a theology of animals! The author points us to Christ and challenges the reader directly, asking ‘When did you…?’

Part three of the book tackles ethical questions in Jonah: knowing God’s will; fasting and the care of animals. I appreciated the author’s suggestion to ‘make little decisions well.’

Study questions are included at the end of the book for each chapter, which means that this excellent little volume would be useful for small group Bible studies.
