About the Book
Almost everyone has heard about 'Jonah and the Whale,' right? The kids' story about the runaway prophet getting swallowed by a big fish. But what if it was more than just a simple children's story or a fictitious myth from ancient times? This book explores this famous biblical tale, showing that the story of Jonah is actually a brilliantly written narrative that has been skillfully woven together. As we follow Jonah’s story, what we discover is not just a window into Jonah's life, but a mirror into our own. We are all Jonah, and like the runaway prophet, we all have much to learn about the grace of God.
