* The book of Jonah tells the story of when God sent Jonah to preach to the people of Nineveh.
|
|
|
|
|
* Jonah refused to go to Nineveh and instead got on a ship headed for a different city.
|
|
|
|
|
* God caused a huge storm to overwhelm that ship.
|
|
|
|
|
* When the men sailing the ship found out that Jonah was disobeying God, they threw him into the sea and the storm stopped.
