Jonah is an epic tale involving a man on a mission, three days and nights in the belly of a great fish, and a city experiencing unexpected renewal.

It is short and sweet. But the man on a mission we meet in chapter 1--who is saved from a fish in chapter 2 and boldly calls a violent city to turn from its ways and follow the living God--ends the story pouting under a tree.

It's an odd conclusion. But as we zoom in on the story, we see that Jonah shows us a seeking God whose relentless pursuit of us is at the heart of who He is. God isn't just for "those people out there." He's for all of us.
