    How Much Is The Fare To Tarshish? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 6, 2003
    based on 35 ratings
     | 21,428 views

    Jonah refused to go to Tarshish because emotionally he felt unwelcome and theologically he thought he could escape God’s oversight. He paid hidden costs, in vain: the loss of a vessel, the loss of joy, human wreckage, reckoning with eternity.

    When I travel, I don’t want to spend too much money on the travel itself. I’d rather spend my money on whatever there is to buy where I’m going. I don’t want to hand much over to the airline or the railroad. I want to travel cheap. But I sometimes miss an important fact – that when I try to ...read more

What is your country? And of what people are you?” Jonah’s ministry took place in the 8th century B.C. – sometime ...read more
