Variety of topics — topical, textual, Old Testament, New Testament Four new studies will be added to this series in July of each year Lessons are suitable for personal study, lecture, or discussion in any congregation The Ridiculous Runaway The book of Jonah powerfully displays God's control over nature and nations. Yet, God refuses to press His will upon a ridiculous rebel. He patiently and providentially works with a prophet who has his own agenda. The Ridiculous Runaway is not only an in-depth commentary on Jonah; it is an eye-opener for every Christian. How willing am I to go where God sends and feel what He feels for lost souls? How many closets of disobedience do I maintain in my own life, even in the face of God's straightforward commands? How often do I ridiculously run away from my personal responsibilities to God?
