Jonah is probably the most familiar Minor Prophet for most Christians today. The short book is a
quick and easy read with the most memorable part being Jonah and the great fish who swallowed
him whole. The reason the book of Jonah was preserved and treasured over the millennia has
more to do the character of God than a big fish.
Some see Jonah as a comical book. It sounds more like a
journey some of us may know ourselves— a journey of rejecting God out of deep wounds felt
while serving Him only to find God there in Christ waiting for us with open arms to return.
NO-WRONG-ANSWERS DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
A key feature of this study is our
"No-Wrong-Answers
" discussion questions. You do not need to
have prior knowledge of the the Minor Prophets to journey with them in our studies.
These
twelve books are among the least known books of the Bible for many Christians. No worries! We
will focus on the most important thing— what God is saying to us today through these awesome
prophets. So read through and jot your thoughts down if you
'd like, but come to your group ready
to talk about and discuss how Jonah'
s message speaks to you today.
The study is broken up into sections so that discussion can happen all during your group time and
not just at the end. This is an easy way to come close to the Minor Prophets and hear God's voice
in them as followers of Christ. Group leaders can facilitate discussion, but no prep is required for
this study.
