    based on 74 ratings
     | 17,722 views

    The Book of Jonah is the story of a man whose greatest struggles were not with a big fish or a pagan city - they were battles within his own heart.

    We are first introduced to Jonah the prophet in the Book of Second Kings.

    Pressing Into His Presence Series

That worship arises from a relationship with Him. The bible says in the ...read more
