Inspired by Jonah's Fast: A Patristic Meditation on Repentance and Divine Mercy

In the mystery of Jonah, the Church contemplates a God who descends into the depths to save, not to destroy.

This book brings together the luminous homilies of St. Jacob of Serugh, alongside the witness of the Church Fathers, to reveal Jonah not merely as a prophet who fled, but as a living sign of Christ's descent, burial, and resurrection.

The storm, the sea, the whale, and Nineveh's repentance are unveiled as movements of divine compassion, where mercy precedes wrath, and repentance becomes a passage from death to life.

Prepared as a companion to Jonah's Fast, this work invites into a hope-filled journey of repentance: not driven by fear, but drawn by God's long-suffering love.

Rooted in Scripture, shaped by the Fathers, and written in a contemplative spirit, this book is offered to all who seek to understand repentance not as condemnation, but as restoration and to encounter the God who waits patiently at the door of the human heart.

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 2:5)
