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
