Jonah –
17/01/2010
TEXT-AUDIO-VIDEO
Due to the lack of their popularity, we decided to
run a 12-part series on the twelve minor prophets. The aim is to
show how they fit into Jewish history, what their purpose is, and what
message they had for God's people both then and now. This first
talk looks at the overarching message of compassion in the book of
Jonah.
