Jonah: Meeting the God of the Second Chance

Jonah is not only one of the most popular books in the Bible; it is also one of the most controversial. Its historical validity is questioned by skeptics and scholars alike. But Jonah is the actual account of a man who rebelled and was swallowed by a great fish. The book of Jonah is not just about a fish—it is the story about someone like you and me. It is the story of Jonah’s struggles, calling, disobedience, problems, and prayer life. It is the story of his encounter with God and of God’s gracious dealings with him. It is the story of a man, and of an entire city, that got a second chance.
