It’s easy to get caught up in the dramatic details of the story of Jonah. Who can forget the prophet who tried to flee from God but was swallowed whole by a big fish? Let Robert Solomon take you deeper into the book of Jonah, and you’ll see this popular Sunday School account in a new light.

For the story of Jonah is really a story of God’s heart and God’s mission. It tells of a loving God who pursues His people relentlessly—whether it is a renegade prophet, a boatful of desperate sailors, or a sinful city. It speaks of a merciful God who is always ready to give people a second chance. And it shows us a compassionate God who is working in our hearts even as He challenges us to love others. Don’t miss the beautiful truths contained in what Jesus himself called the “sign of Jonah”.
