The God Who Is Duane Smets

Jonah is a great story and its doctrine is just as rich and full. It grapples with some of the most difficult theological questions you can ask and answers them by putting God on display. Many have mistakenly looked at it as a book about Jonah where his example is meant to teach us a moral lesson, but the book is really more about God and what He does. It's not so much a biography of Jonah but a theography of God. What is relevant for us in Jonah? Everything. If you stick it out and read through this book, I promise you will not be disappointed. This is a powerful and amazing story and if you commit to reading it, it can change your life. My prayer for you as we work through Jonah is that your heart may be probed and pressed and that you would learn more about yourself. Even more, I pray you would come to see the beauty and wonder of the gospel of Jesus Christ?that we have a God who pursues us and died for us and rose to give us life.
