The holy Churchs concern over the story of Jonah the Prophet with the Ninevites has surpassed her concern for many other Biblical stories. She designated for it a feast, preceded by a three-day fast for the whole congregation in strict asceticism in order to guide us to repent as the people of Nineveh did. The story of Jonah is more than a prophet being swalled by a large fish. This book will help bring to life the spiritual significance and depth of the story of Jonah the Prophet. CONTENTS Introduction Chapter One The Problem of the Fleeing Prophet Chapter Two Gentile Mariners are better than Jonah Chapter Three Jonah in the Belly of the Fish Chapter Four Nineveh the Great City Chapter Five Saving Jonah from His Obduracy and Pride Chapter Six God in the Book of Jonah
