The Debarkation Of Jonah

Contributed by Melvin Shelton on Nov 15, 2005

Sin never advertises itself truthfully. It only talks about how nice it is going to be in Tarshish and that you should go there. But it never tells you about the storm you are going to encounter resulting in you being thrown overboard.
