Jonah (Opening Up Series)

Everyone knows about Jonah and the whale, but there is a whole lot more to Jonah's story than just this episode. Paul Mackrell shows that the book of Jonah is in fact a profound portrait of God's character - burning with holy anger at human sin, yet gentle and merciful to those who repent.

Think Jonah think whale. Or should we Actually no. The whale or great fish merely appears among the list of supporting cast along with the worm which appears later in the account.

In this easytoread guide you will learn many things about how God controls nature governs history and shows remarkable grace to a city of people who hardly seem likely candidates for his mercy.Read less
