Every creature in the story obeys God. Every one — except the prophet.
The wind obeys. The sea obeys. The fish obeys. Even the plant and the wormobey. The only character in the Book of Jonah who refuses is the man who knowsGod best.
That is the uncomfortable mirror Dr. Phillip G. Andrade holds up in thissix-session study. Jonah is not a children's story about a big fish. It is apiercing account of a believer who wanted God's blessing without God's mission,and who was angrier about grace given to his enemies than he was grateful forgrace given to himself.
Don't Be Like Jonah walks verse by verse through all four chapters,tracing the five-step staircase of rebellion that carried Jonah down to Joppa,down into the ship, down into the hold, and finally down into the sea — and themercy that met him at the bottom.
Inside this study you will find:
- Six chapters covering the full arc of Jonah, from the runaway call to God'sunanswered closing question
- Historical context most readers never hear — including why Nineveh was adeclining power, not a superpower, when Jonah was sent
- A clear explanation of biblical satire and why the irony in Jonah ishistorical rather than invented
- A complete Bible study section in every chapter, structured around Observe,Interpret, and Apply, with room to write your answers
- "Am I Jonah?" — a full self-assessment inventory that helps you locatewhich step of the staircase you are standing on right now
- Discussion questions built for small groups, Sunday school classes, men's andwomen's ministries, or personal devotion
Written by a pastor with more than forty years in ministry — a formermissionary, police officer, and two-time New England senior pastor — this studyis honest about the fact that most of us are not running to Tarshish. We aresimply quietly convinced that we know better than God about who deserves Hismercy.
The Book of Jonah ends with a question God asks and Jonah never answers.Should I not have compassion? The answer was always meant to come fromthe reader.
Perfect for small groups, adult Sunday school, discipleship pairs, andanyone who has ever run.
