Hello and Welcome


The book of Jonah is different from the other minor prophets, for it is the personal experience of the prophet himself. The story is presented much like that of Elijah and Elisha. Though the book contains no direct prophecy, the experience of Jonah is itself a reflection of the message of God. The book of Jonah is essentially a missionary book, a fore-shadowing of our Lord's great commission to go and preach the Gospel to every creature. [Mat 28:18-20]

Welcome to this new series which will run for five Sundays and will focus around five great themes of the whole book of Jonah. May god bless us richly as we go from Sunday to Sunday. This blog is a gift to you. A "One stop shop" for some great resources to help focus heart and mind on what we find in Jonah. On the blog you will find commentary, teaching resources, movies, artwork. and a whole host of other materials like radio and TV, ebooks and sermons and many many more easy access resources.

I really hope you will engage with the themes and thr resources and that during this season you may grow as the Lord leads and blesses you.
