Synopsis

“A glorious novel illuminating one of the Bible’s greatest stories of transformation. Barbera fills in the details with masterful skill…CPM” In 762 BC, the Lord sent one man to the most wicked and violent city on the face of the earth. He Persuaded a King; He Moved an Empire…and He Redeemed Himself! His name was Jonah, and he didn’t choose the mission—God did. Thrown into a storm, swallowed by a great fish, and sent to confront the most violent city on earth, Jonah’s journey is anything but ordinary. Along the way, he wrestles with his calling, his love for Naomi, and the loyalty of his lifelong friend, Amos.Set against the backdrop of crumbling kingdoms and rising empires, Jonah in the Time of the Kings is a powerful tale of love, justice, and the unstoppable reach of grace. A reluctant prophet. A brutal city. A sovereign God who reaches the most broken of men. This richly imagined biblical novel will sweep you into one of the most astonishing spiritual awakenings in history.

A Great Biblical Fiction!! The world paints this as a fairy tale but Barbera writes about a biblical event true enough that Jesus even referenced it.

Goodreads review by Brandy on February 03, 2022

A Warning!! Wow. I stepped far back into time and yet-right into today. A nation with no God-what would our people do if one would stand and declare-repent! Plagues, earthquakes, famines, extreme weather. I pray God gives us another chance to repent. It is sad to think what it will take :( A truly w......more
