In August the Ministry team at my
church did a sermon series on Jonah – it was really interesting and got me
wanting to learn more about Jonah the person and Jonah the book.
Anywhere but Nineveh is a thirty
day devotional book which goes through the book of Jonah. Jonah is a small book,
it only has four chapters, and in this devotional the author Frank Sellar (Moderator of Presbyterian Church in Ireland) takes one verse a day at a time –
expanding the text and making Jonah’s story relevant to today.
The devotional book reminds us
that Jonah is more than a story about a whale. Jonah was a real person and his
story was real.
I enjoyed this book as it helped
me understand Jonah better and how this Old Testament book is linked to the New
Testament and points us to the One who is greater than Jonah – the one who didn’t
run away – Jesus.
