We might recall the story of Jonah as being about a mighty fish. But really, it is about an almighty God who saves. Sent as a prophet to Nineveh, Jonah turns to go in the opposite direction - but his journey imparts the truth of God's love and purposes, which are applicable today, and to every generation. As you explore this Old Testament book, discover how God is a God who forgives, saves and restores.

These seven engaging sessions encourage us to consider:

the knowledge that God rules and no one can prevent His purposes

how God protects all people who put their trust in Him

that God's love for us should influence our relationships with others

Icebreakers, Bible readings, eye openers, discussion starters, personal application make this a rich resource for group or individual study.
