The Body of Jonah

$12.00

Most of us have heard the story about Jonah and the whale, but there is so much more to this strange little book of the Bible. In this book, we encounter a God who calls a prophet to proclaim compassion and mercy to outsiders. The only problem is that this prophet, Jonah, is not really the hero of the story. He’s got issues with the Ninevites and with God’s mercy. Teenagers can connect with a story about a messed-up hero who still manages to do what God asks (albeit reluctantly and kind of does it for the wrong reasons and then has issues with God’s mercy).
