Anywhere But Nineveh: A Month's Journey with Jonah

by Frank Sellar

So often, just like Jonah, we are blinded by our situations, culture, or our own hearts. So often we ignore what we know God is calling us to do - and we are always left feeling incomplete and far from Him.
Anywhere but Nineveh is a thirty day devotional which inspires and focuses the mind, not on our rebellion, but instead on a God who speaks to us and on "One greater than Jonah" Who did not run away.

A daily devotional look at Jonah, covering similar ground to R.T. Kendall's expositional commentary, although, of course in much less detail. Within those parameters it is good, and particularly for anyone looking at this book within the context of Northern Ireland, or familiar with its history of sectarianism and competing nationalisms, but it is unquestioningly literal in its understanding of Jonah and uses the text to pose individualistic questions though a New Testament lens, rather than, in any significant way wrestling with what it was saying to the nation of Israel in its original context. But that's difficult to do in a brief daily devotional and I suppose I shouldn't be too critical of it.

To show the comparison of Jonah to Jesus. Jonah was disobedient to God and ran away and as a result of failing to follow God's instruction, he ended up in the belly of a whale for 3 days and 3 nights. Jesus the Son of God was obedient until death and stayed in the grave 3 days and nights then rose again. The truth is he is alive today. Amen

Thought-provoking

The thoughts expressed here about Jonah are fresh and convicting. In fact, I could not wait for each day, but read the book straight through.

Really helpful little book with thought provoking questions and prayers. It deepened my understanding of Jonah and made me slow down and really think about my Bible study.
