The Jonah Complex: Rediscovering the Outrageous Grace of God by: Greg Haslam
Non-fiction: Religion: E-book
I am not having a good time picking religious books, this one was written by a fundamentist, reformed preacher. So they felt it was important to randomly argue for fundamentist creationism, but then went on about things that the Bible did not say happen, but it was very important that the reader 100% sees how this thing the Bible never said was an important part of the story of Jonah. (And it wasn't just something that many Bible scholars agree on that could be implied, especially if one did not see the story as having symbolic or poetic meanings.)
