The Greater the Wave, the Greater the Peace
Like ancient mariners who navigated by the stars, we all seek guides through life's deeper waters. Today, we invite you to discover MONK TALES - a unique harbor where stories illuminate paths to purpose and transformation.
MONK TALES charts a transformative journey using nautical metaphors to illuminate spiritual truths. Whether through books that plumb the depths of divine pursuit, screenplays that spark social change, daily reflections from Beer at Jonah's nautical studio, or Beneath the Music and blog posts, each story invites readers to discover how individual journeys of purpose can create meaningful change.
Like waves reshaping a coastline, our spiritual journeys move in divine rhythms of advance and retreat - some cleansing, some bringing new treasures, some carrying away debris. Some waves are gentle, barely touching our feet as we wade in the shallows of initial faith. Others are deeper swells that draw us into profound surrender, while transformative breakers reshape our entire spiritual landscape. Each wave of grace carries us further into the depths of God's Love, emerging from the same vast ocean of Mercy, that calls us ever deeper.
Life's rhythms don't come with GPS. When storms rise or calls to adventure beckon, we need more than surface-level advice.
Daily Navigations are brief, contemplative reflections that help you find your bearings in life's deeper currents. Each morning, receive practical spiritual guidance that meets you wherever you are on the journey—whether weathering unexpected storms, hearing whispers of calling, or simply seeking meaning in everyday moments.
Every story you've ever loved is an echo of God's own hero's journey to bring His beloved creation home. This divine quest unfolds in three eternal acts: Love, where God pours Himself into creating a world capable of relationship; Mercy, where He patiently pursues us after we turn away; and Justice, where all things are finally restored.
Every song, every movie, every story that's ever moved you - we'll show you why it's bigger and more beautiful than you ever imagined. Here's the amazing truth: every artist, whether they know it or not, is retelling this same story. When musicians write about finding shelter from storms, when filmmakers craft tales of redemption, when storytellers wrestle with answering the Call to high adventure—they're unknowingly retelling God's story of pursuing His beloved creation. Through six creative harbors (Books, Film Scripts, Beer at JONAHS, Hidden Cinema, Beneath the Music and posts) MONK TALES reveals how every song, film, and story that moves you is actually God speaking your name, calling you deeper into your spiritual journey and His story of love and pursuit.
Through our collection of books exploring God's hero's journey, you'll discover stories that bridge divine pursuit with modern life - from examining Love, Mercy, and Justice to voyaging beyond life's illusions, from thrillers that weave spiritual truth into gripping narratives to navigating the call to deeper waters. Each book invites you to explore your own hero's journey and witness how personal transformation leads to profound purpose.
Join MONK at Beer at JONAHS nautical studio for daily reflections that navigate life's deeper waters. A relaxed harbor where cold beer meets warm wisdom and spiritual insights emerge from everyday experience.
