As the old adage goes, you have to ask the right questions before
you can get the right answers. And that's exactly what the Not Your
Average Bible Study series helps you do. Rather than spoon-feeding
you with individual facts, this study of Jonah coaches you on how
to think through the text as a whole. Tested and proven in Bible
Study Magazine, it's perfect for group and individual studies
alike. Jonah was a rebel prophet. When God wanted him to preach a
message of hope to Nineveh, a city in Assyria, Jonah traveled in
the opposite direction. His story of failure shows us God's
mercy--both to the prophet and to a people who didn't deserve it.
It reminds us of God's mercy to us, and it challenges us to be
ambassadors of that mercy. Each section of the guide begins with a
concise introduction, providing context for the biblical passage.
Next, you'll consider questions designed to prompt your own
in-depth study. You'll also find specific prayer suggestions, along
with ideas for further research. Experience the joy of discovering
biblical insights for yourself--then apply these lessons to your
everyday life. This is not your average Bible study!
