A fascinating look at a favourite Bible story.

The story of Jonah is an inspiration to anyone who has ever made a mistake, had a regret or failed God.

Through this detailed study of a 'whale of a tale' - the story of Jonah the prophet - we are shown that even if we fail, even if we run away from God, He loves us too much to let us go. Selwyn Hughes takes us through Jonah's refusal to obey God, his attempt to escape Him, his rescue from drowning by a large fish and his turning back to God. Through this we see the love and mercy of our God, and though we focus on a man whose life in many ways seems a failure, we can learn vital lessons from his attitudes and actions which can help us fail less. Each chapter ends with a section of further study, Bible references and questions. So this is a book for everyone! Learn to experience the mercy, grace and forgiveness of God and find freedom in His restoring love.
