Jonah (Bible Study Book with Video Access): Running to Surrender (8 Sessions)

All believers are called to live on mission with God, but too often, fear,  self-doubt, or discontentment leads us to run from that calling. We parallel the story of Jonah, who, instead of being obedient to God’s command to go to Ninevah, ran in the opposite direction. But the story of Jonah is about much more than rebellion and a big fish; it’s also a look into the heart and  character of a loving God.

In this 8-session study, Elizabeth Woodson will walk with you verse by verse through the book of Jonah. As you dive deep into this reluctant prophet’s journey, you’ll get a clear picture of the sovereignty of God and His compassion for people. You’ll witness the high cost of disobedience and the depth of God’s grace and mercy. You’ll also explore how God’s love extends to all people, how His purposes are never hindered by our failures, and how He remains a God of second chances. You’ll learn that all of us are called to live on mission, and you’ll be challenged to surrender to God’s purpose with bold faith and unwavering obedience.
