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?
I hope the internet resources given below will provide us a knowledge base to start our bible studies and stimulate how how we react when we face a similar situation as Jonah.
Even you answer all the questions correctly, what benefit, if you never think how to apply from what you learn. What will happen when you face the difficult medical situation? How to pray to God and tell Him your situation?
