Combining many years of pastoral experience and theological study, Ordained Minister Rev. Dr. Barry A.

God's amazing grace, abundant mercy, and willingness to forgive and offer second, third, fourth, and fifth chances are emphasized, highlighted, and celebrated in this brief, yet eye-opening, analysis of this ancient story about a man, a big fish, and the power and gift of being given a second chance. Complete with four sermon outlines, one on each chapter of the Book of Jonah, this text provides everything one needs in order to preach and teach the Book of Jonah in the church today.
