What the author of Jonah does so well is that he puts a spotlight on Jonah, and exposes the innately human, and relatable, side of one of God’s prophets. However, the whole time the author makes us think “well of course Jonah is wrong, matter of fact he’s such a dummy,” yet by the end of the story we realize that the moral of the story is not just about Jonah, it's about how we all withhold mercy as humans despite God’s superior desire to show it to everyone.

About this Plan
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.
