While this was a book that was originally assigned for classwork, I chose to finish it on my own. I found Peterson's connection between Jonah and ourselves very relevant, and something I could easily relate to at any point in ministry. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is associated with ministry, especially those who are employed by the church.

You will not find a better character study on Jonah, or better exegetical and pastoral commentary on the book of Jonah than this book, Under the Unpredictable Plant.Eugene Peterson gives you the fruit of his soul in this book, and you will be nourished and helped to nourish others by it as well. I have bought this book for a friend, but i have read this several times and have used it in my own teaching through Jonah at my church.

The constant push on pastors from parishioners, from denominations and from their own egos is to build a growing church. Though much effort is made to say that numbers are not what is most important, the current management and leadership of the vast majority of churches indicates otherwise. Peterson challenges pastors to be forthright in repenting of their own idolatry and to be willing to step into the "mess" of ministry to help people become partners with God's work in them and in their church family. I can hardly think of a more important and helpful challenge for pastoral leaders today.

This is the third Peterson book I've read, and one of the five books he has penned for pastors. As the title suggests, this book is developed around the story-line of Jonah whose disobedience and running from God parallel similar sins in pastors. Peterson confronts pastors who do not stay rooted in one place, succumb to the lusts of "ecclesiastical pornography" (see the quote in a review below), and serve up religion to parishioners by making golden calves. His playful prose explores multiple dimensions of the pastoral vocation including prayer, spiritual direction, and cultivating (as a farmer cultivates a field, as opposed to a developer excavating land to build a shopping mall) the top-soil of the congregation. A chapter which meanders through the works of Dostoevsky, gleaning numerous insights into the soul-work of pastors, was especially helpful. I found myself rebuked, refocused, revived, and refreshed in my reading of this book over vacation this year. Just what I needed. The exegesis in Jonah may be strained at a few points, but the pastoral theology is sound and I'm grateful for what I gleaned from this book. I plan to return to it again in the future.

Great book. I keep coming back to it to be refreshed. It also provided great background material to use for our VBS program on Jonah (we used the Veggietales Jonah movie in combination). I have it both on Kindle and paperback at this point (the latter from my time at school, and the first for portable use later). Peterson has become one of my favorite authors.

Oneof the best on Jonah put in contemporary terms by a pastor who got to the hart of pastoring. The meditation, sermon prep and delivery and prayer is the key work, not "running the church." Gets to the bottom line for effective pastor-congregational relationship.Every pastor should read it and go through a sermon series with their congregation.Seller good and on time.

Peterson once again captures the struggle between becoming a professional pastor and being a spiritual director. His self exposure gracefully confronts those who would dare to listen. A must read for those entering the pastoral journey or for those who have become cynical and tired of the program's we have been convinced are the keys to the Kingdom.

Peterson writes to pastors providing them spiritual direction and guidance. He addresses vocational holiness and uses the story of Jonah as an analogy for pastoral leadership in a delightful, humble way. He draws from Dostoevsky’s story of the Brothers Karamazov to reflect his growing understanding of God’s hidden passion which lives within each individual. Finally, Peterson discusses the issue of pride and how it often hides behind virtue. Peterson encourages a quiet, unscheduled life that makes time for God. This is an impactful book.
