Years ago, a friend told me he couldn’t believe the story of Jonah and the Whale. “Three days in a fish? That’s impossible.”
I told him that every miracle takes the same faith — from the resurrection of Christ to the simple act of waking up each morning. The problem isn’t the size of the miracle. It’s our resistance to believe what it requires of us.

Most of us aren’t struggling to believe the whale. We’re struggling to face our Nineveh — the thing God keeps calling us to do that we don’t want to do.

In What’s Your Nineveh?, Keith Thorn re-imagines the ancient story of Jonah as a mirror for modern avoidance. Through faith, psychology, and personal reflection, he shows that running from purpose doesn’t keep you safe — it leads you into the belly of your own despair.

Drawing from conversations on faith and responsibility — including Dr. Jordan Peterson’s challenge to face smaller battles before they become larger wars — Thorn explores what happens when we refuse to speak the truth burning in our hearts. The longer we delay, the deeper we sink.

This is not a book about a whale. It’s about the war between obedience and resistance — the one that lives inside every soul.
If you’ve ever felt trapped by your own silence, What’s Your Nineveh? will help you find the courage to turn around, speak what you were born to say, and finally find peace in the place you once feared.
