"Those who recognize thier own sins often rejoice that Jesus would want to help anyone so lost. Three such sinners-- Matthew the publican, Miriam the harlot, and a sick man named Jonah-- come to Jesus in need ofhope, healing and forgiveness. Weaving together many New Testament stories, including the parables of the lost coin and the lost sheep, this tale shows how Jesus generously extends His mercy to each sinner and lovingly brings the repentant back to the fold."--Container.
