If I could have only one book besides the Bible — This would be the book. C.S. Lewis is pure genuis when it comes to making sense of Christianity. If you believe that Christianity is only for the uneducated and simple minded this book is for you. I believe each chapter is a challenge to your intellect and your spirit. I have much more to say.

A: Yes, he is in the belly of the fish for three days and then spit up on the shore. He goes to the city.
9. What is the warning that the person gives to the city?

10. How do the people of the city respond to the warning?

13. Why did God send these two things?
A: Possible answer: He wanted to show Jonah that he should care about an entire city of people more than he cared about a bush — or actually his own comfort. God was trying to teach Jonah that people are more important to God than anything, no matter what they have done.
14. Is the main character of this story is someone we should want to be like?
A: NO!!!! Jonah is an example of someone we don’t want to be like. Jesus called us to love our neighbor — he didn’t call us to love our neighbor if — and only if — they are lovable
