Description
The story of Jonah seems so simple-short, straight and to the point. Yet as we dive deeper into the depths of this narrative, we can begin to see ourselves in its parts if we are honest. Jonah's struggle becomes our struggle, his response our response. In the bottomless background of the story we see God's heart of love, compassion and mercy, contrasting with the self-absorbed, single focus of heart that Jonah portrayed. Are we willing to listen? Moreover, are we prepared to hear what we don't want to hear and act upon it? These are the haunting questions that infill the sonorous depths of Jonah's inherent back story.
