Product Description
We all run away from God at some time, but He will never let us get away! Because He loves us, God goes to extremes to turn us around and get us back on the right path. No one knew this better than Jonah. Jonah’s story teaches us that God's plans for us might be difficult and hard to accept, but God will always be alongside of us. In fact, the story of Jonah is really the story of God’s character, His care for us, and how His discipline is a form of grace. Jonah reminds us how even our lowest moments are worthy times to give God praise and thanks.
