This is an 8 day Reading Plan with a devotional guide. On the one hand we encounter a Prophet who runs from God while on the other hand we see a gracious God who pursues the disobedient prophet. Through the Book of Jonah, we begin to see how God extends His rich mercy and grace toward us and makes us to be people on mission for His Kingdom.

The Old Testament records the faith-filled, joyful, and desperate prayers of sinners and saints, prayers that still speak to us today.

Their loneliness echoes ours. So does their joy. This 13-day series was written by Dr. Leanne Van Dyk.

This plan helps to rethink the Biblical view of pleasure and shows how our pursuit of pleasure mirrors our pursuit of God. By revisiting the goodness of God in Scripture, we also see one of His greatest parts of creation emerge anew. This is the “life to the full” Jesus told us about.

Jonah is a somewhat unique book because rather than focusing on Jonah's message, it focuses on his own story. In an age where many are deconstructing or questioning their faith because of perceiving God to be too strict, harsh, or un-loving (especially in the Old Testament), Jonah’s story stands as an example of God’s great love for humanity and redemptive purpose for the salvation of the whole world.
