Amazing Book

Prophet on the Run

I have to say when I first picked up this book I thought " I know all about  Jonah but I will read it any way." I was in for a grand surprise!

This little book became my devotional book , the week after I read it as I saw I need to take heart the lessons in it.

 I was motivated to read this book from  the first chapter! So intense is this work that I couldn't put it down and finished it in one afternoon. 

True, the content is not for mere pleasure. I found the chapters fascinating.A devotional commentary on the book of Jonah, this is a new book by Baruch Maoz. A Christian of Jewish descent, and very familiar with the land of Israel and surrounding regions, this author brings to life the circumstances and lessons of this short book of the Old Testament with unusual clarity. 
 This slight book of 7 chapters was originally preached in Israel

There were some very new facts  that I never even considered. One that Jonah was trying to flee a year away! And was the only Old Testament prophet sent by God to preach to a nation other than Israel or Judah.

So many practical applications in this  volume that I would really recommend it to all. God put this story in the Bible for our benefit but unless we are Hebrew we miss out on the treasures. This book is translated from Hebrew so the nuggets jump out at us!

This is a great study on the book of Jonah.  It covers in depth the book, with study questions at the end of each chapter.    This is a small but mighty book, it is uncomplicated in its writings, very easy to understand and a quick read.     I can appreciate how the verses are broken down, and given thought provoking questions.

This book would make an excellent study for oneself or in a group setting. I cant wait to share with all
