Jonah

Who was Jonah in the Bible? What is the book of Jonah about?Jonah was an ordinary person with extraordinary talents. He was God's only choice for a rare and dangerous mission. The mission: Share the Word of God and his enduring promises to the Assyrian people of Nineveh-enemies of Jonah's people.Like so many of God's people today, Jonah resisted the mission and exposed his heart of arrogance, stubbornness, and doubt. Jonah's story needs retelling today. Sometimes, God's reluctant messengers need divine rescue every bit as much as the people to whom God has sent them.If you're wondering who Jonah was, or want to know how Jonah's faith journey impacts your own, this book is for you!Jonah is part of the God's People series by Northwestern Publishing House. It's a wonderful collection about the lives and times of some of God's chosen people. Plots and settings have been taken directly from the Bible, and each book features beautifully detailed, full-color illustrations.
