Jonah: Warning Signs

A prophet refuses God's commands, flees across the water, is thrown overboard by zealous pagan sailors, saved by a giant fish and cast up on a beach.So begins one of the Bible's most famous stories, one which has intrigued Christian readers for centuries. In six engaging studies, we follow Jonah's journey to the city of Nineveh. We consider what God might be teaching Jonah through the voyage, and what lessons we ourselves can learn about God's compassion, His power and His patience.
