Greg Garrett Quote

Jonah, once he got turned around, brought a by-the-book message of doom to the people of Nineveh; God decided to convert it into a message of life. God wins. As Barbara Brown Taylor writes, If Jesus’ own example is to be trusted, then following the Word of God may not always mean doing what is in the book. Instead it may mean deviating from what is in the book in order to risk bringing the Word to life.6
