A Thoroughly Enlightening Bible Study On The Book Of Jonah

Sandra Glahn's "Kona With Jonah" is an incredibly fun and fascinating Bible study in her Coffee Cup Bible Study series. In this four-week study, we travel with the disobedient Old Testament prophet, Jonah for some valuable life lessons in forgiveness. So don't let the size of this study or its "too cute" cover fool you. It is absolutely loaded with Biblical lessons that are pertinent and extremely valuable to us today. The historical perspective that Sandra Glahn adds to these Bible studies is incredibly meaty and brings the scriptures to more colorful life and depth. This is the second study in this series that I've done. I will DEFINITELY be on the lookout for Sandra Glahn's other studies. They are truly life-changing.

Heaven Sent

This book was heaven sent. I wanted to learn more about Jonah because lately I felt like I could relate to it. This book took me through Jonah's journey from a call to go to Ninevah, his refusal, and what he prayed in the belly of a fish. I don't want to give the study away because it deserves your attention, not my summary. However as a kid I thought Jonah ran from fear. That wasn't it. He ran because he didn't think the people of Ninevah were deserving. He knew they'd repent if he gave the Lord's message. He didn't think they deserved it, so he didn't plan on getting that message to them. What sets this series apart is that every Bible verse you need is in this book. It's in the New English Translation which I found helpful to assist me in understanding the truth in contemporary terms. I was able to take this book with me everywhere and use it without the usual frustration of needing to bring a Bible, keep looking up verses, etc...It gives great questions to help you get even more from God on this book. My cross to bear moment this season is similar to Jonah's. I stood in the gap for a situation to break and it's in the works. Lucious fruit of the Lord is about to harvest. Am I praising? No, I'm pouting. Like Jonah, I'm whining to God how it isn't fair. There were some personal punches thrown my way during the battle and now it's time to embrace grace. Instead, I've wanted to run the other way. This study showed me what God can do with an obedient heart, even when it will never be a perfect heart.
