Description:

'Travelling with Jonah' explores the intriguing story of this reluctant prophet. Jonah is best known for his encounter with 'the whale', but there is a lot more to the book than just fish. In fact, it's very unlike any of the other prophets in the Bible. We only have eight words of actual prophecy in the whole book. The book isn’t really about prophecy - it's about a story. It’s a story about the prophet himself, and it also has a lot to show us about about God and his purpose for this world. In doing so, it holds up a mirror for us ourselves. It will show us things that are thought-provoking and encouraging - as well as things that are challenging and perhaps uncomfortably close to home. NB The entire book can be downloaded for free as a pdf from www.beaconlight.co.uk (search on the site for 'Jonah').
