The Book of Jonah is an unusual book from Minor Prophets in the Old Testament. It is usually portrayed by Children Sunday School as God sent a big fish to rescue Jonah. He was swallowed by the big fish and inside the big fish, Jonah prayed for God and finally he was thrown up by the big fish into dry land. As we look at the Book of Jonah in more details, we need to answer a series of questions in order understand the story behind Jonah.
Who Jonah was?
Why he refused to go to Nineveh?
Why he was angry when God showed mercy to the people of Nineveh?
How did God teach Jonah a lesson?
