More DescriptionThis 30-day introspective journal is part of the 'In Me Series' This series aims to look at several biblical characters through a reflective lens to see how their experiences and walk of faith resonate with our own. What might we learn from these heroes that can help us on our spiritual journey? This present volume in the series engages with the narrative of Jonah. Among the prophetic books of the Old Testament, the Book of Jonah, named after the prophet, is unique. The account is mainly about the prophet in contrast to the message of God spoken through the prophet. The literary style of the writing could be categorised as satire, for it accentuates the oddities of Jonah that calls into question his behaviour as a prophet of God. From chapters one to four, the reader is left guessing about what he will do or how he would respond to the commands or actions of God. Few biblical characters offer this rich and intriguing perspective regarding a prophet who struggles to accept that God would show mercy and grace to his enemies. This devotional features reflective questions and space to write your thoughts and feelings... Each day offers a prayer. Our hope is that your faith and obedience would be inspired through the lens of Jonah.
