What’s Your Nineveh?
Every one of us has a Nineveh — the calling we keep running from.
Years ago, Keith Thorn had a conversation with a friend who said, “I just can’t believe the story of Jonah and the whale.” Thorn’s reply was simple: “All miracles take the same faith—from Christ’s resurrection to waking up each morning.”
That moment planted a lifelong question: Why do we reject belief not because it’s unbelievable, but because of what belief would require of us?
In What’s Your Nineveh?, Thorn re-imagines the ancient story of Jonah as a modern mirror for the quiet ways we flee from purpose, conviction, and the words God lays on our hearts. When we suppress what we’re called to say or do, we end up swallowed by our own silence—an inner hell of unrest, anxiety, and regret. Read More

Keith Thorn’s book, “Faith Made Real,” is an honest and transparent account of how God grows our faith in unexpected ways. As a Christian for 50 + years, I’ve recently found myself in a very difficult place. I’ve been struggling with doubt and questions about God, and wondering at times if He has abandoned me. I’ve cried out to God so many times in my fear and confusion. I’ve talked to fellow Christians, read my Bible, and prayed, but still I was struggling. Somehow, in all of this, I’ve felt tiny little flickers of truth and hope that kept me going. But I still struggled with the thought that I was doing something wrong. What a gift from God to have this book literally laid in my hands! As I read the author’s words, I found myself saying, “Yes!” “Me, too!” “Oh, thank goodness, I am not alone!” The words on these pages absolutely confirmed what I’ve felt God has been telling me. Everything Keith says rings true Biblically, and I have renewed hope that my faith IS being made stronger through what I am going through. I no longer want OUT of the situation, but instead, I am asking God, “What are You teaching me?” This is a huge paradigm shift for me – from believing lies to believing truth.
If you feel lost, hopeless, discouraged, or abandoned, sit down with this book and let God speak to you through it. Thank you, Keith Thorn, for sharing your story and the wisdom that God has taught you through it! Thank you for reminding me that: faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains; when I fail and stumble, God hasn’t left me; and when my faith is weak and I can’t hold on, I don’t have to because God NEVER lets me go.
