Hear the words of the Lord God and the prophet Jonah ring true throughout the world, guiding you to salvation and an everlasting life in this powerful, exciting and inspirational story. In this modernized version of the Bible story of Jonah and the whale, God and Jonah come alive, and God speaks to us in clear, direct language, telling us that he loves all people here on earth and that we are all equal in his eyes.Jonah is a shepherd in the northern part of today's Israel, and he is called upon by God in the heavens to send a message to the people of Nineveh, the world's largest city at the time of the story, very near present-day Mosul, Iraq. God is unhappy with Nineveh and its inhabitants for their wicked and lascivious lives, and He wants Jonah to preach to those people that they must change their ways. Jonah is frightened upon hearing the words of God roaring down on him from above and is afraid of how he would be treated by the people of Nineveh. Instead of following God's command, Jonah runs and finds a ship to take him to the coast of what is now Spain where he feels he will safe from the eyes of God.Jonah cannot run from the Lord. Such a thing is impossible. God finds Jonah and punishes him and speaks to Jonah with messages of redemption and salvation that give guidance to all of us on how to find God's love and protection. Jonah is given a second chance by God as are the people of Nineveh. Read the story and you will find out how things turn out not only for Jonah and the people of Nineveh, but for your life too if you listen to the Lord and turn over your life to Him.This book is a lifetime road-map for all people who believe in God the Father and his son Jesus Christ and who want to lead a good and holy life.
