JONAH the Reluctant Prophet - Norman L Shoaf - August 1979

Norman L Shoaf

Jonah was one of the most successful spokesmen God ever used, but he failed to appreciate his commission because he resented what God was doing through him. Among the people God has called to thunder His messages to a rebellious mankind, the prophet Jonah may be unique throughout history. Not necessarily because he, a lone Israelite; was sent to warn a large gentile city of God's coming punishment. Not because of his 72-hour adventure inside the belly of the great fish. And not because his book is the only one among the minor prophets that records a prophet's activities rather than his prophecies. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
