Jonah is one the most well-known stories in the Bible, and the least understood! This story of God’s thick-headed and small-minded prophet levels a challenge to every generation of God’s people who are prone to hypocrisy and spiritual apathy. As Jonah runs from God and hides behind his religious piety, God’s wide mercy softens the hearts of the most unexpected people. This is a story meant to shake us awake to the surprising ways God works in our world, and in our own lives.
