Much Ado About Jonah

• Jonah 1:1 (MSG)

---

If reading Jonah makes you uncomfortable, chances are you've served in ministry. Perhaps you can identify with Jonah--terrified of the assignment, running the other way, honestly confronting your cowardice, surviving the punishment, committing once again to obedience, expecting certain outcomes based on your own interpretation of God's intentions, disappointed at the results, bitter.

Jonah is a cautionary tale for much more than ministry. But, if the shoe fits...the whale spits.
