A Storm, A Fish and A Gourd

The story of Jonah, which many have thought to be a mere fishy fable, is a picture of a real man who was called by God to serve up the message of God to a people he had no interest in delivering it to. In this quick read, Pastor Steve Adrulonis presents a conversational and compelling portrayal of the testimony of the prophet. The book opens with the unexpected thought “Jonah is a book about me,” and concludes saying, “The book of Jonah opens our understanding to so much about us, but more importantly, these chapters tell us so much about God and His lovingkindness toward us. He knows that we are dust; He is intimately acquainted with our weaknesses. In the end, Jonah tasted and saw that the Lord was good for himself and for all the world.”
