Forty Days: 9 Concepts For the Christian from the Book of Jonah (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798990556270)

In Forty Days, Pastor Cory Sexton shares nine core principles from the Book of Jonah to educate believers about the dangers of ignoring or mishandling the calling of God.

Read between the lines and prepare to be surprised as Cory exposes the background and inner workings of Jonah's story. Brace yourself for truth, spoken lovingly, as he transposes Jonah's failures and suffering as warnings for the present day, and shows us how we're as susceptible as any ancient prophet to missing the call of God for our lives.

To answer that call, Sexton's message (adapted from a sermon series) helps believers "clear the decks" in their lives - of sin, negligence, ignorance, ingratitude and spiritual nearsightedness. Forty Days exposes how God uses the number "40" to bring about repentance, restoration and renewal in the innermost parts of our being - and how quickly you can set yourself on the road to redemption by saying "Yes" to his time-sensitive pattern.

Forty Days spurs believers everywhere to dig deep, be honest and act quickly to respond to God's grace and calling, for the time is short. In its detailed investigation and step-by-step exposition lies the timeless message of the Kingdom of God - "Repent! Come back! Change your ways! Before it's too late!"
