Description
The book of Jonah is an exciting and continuous chain of surprises and providence from the beginning to end. These studies on Living Obediently stress those events and details which emphasize the necessity of obedience and how to claim victory over self-will.

Summary
OBEDIENCE. We hear so little of that today. Many times we find it easier to disobey than simply to obey. Jonah found it so. The results of his disobedience are well known. But do you know the truth behind Jonah's disobedience?

Excerpt
THOUGH NUMBERED AMONG THE PROPHETS, the book of Jonah is more of a narrative than a prophecy. In fact, the only self-evident prophetic utterance in its four brief chapters is found in the form of a warning to the capital of Assyria—”Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown” (Jonah 3:4). Jonah abounds with interest, offering a continuous chain of surprises and providences from beginning to end. Numerous intervening events and details are readily skipped over, while only the facts that provide vital moral and spiritual instruction are retained. Unquestionably, the pinnacle truth the Holy Spirit would have us receive from the book is the importance of living obediently, claiming victory over self-will and carnality.
