About this story
God commands Jonah to travel to Nineveh and warn its people, but Jonah boards a ship heading in the opposite direction. When a violent storm threatens everyone aboard, Jonah admits that he is running away from God and is thrown into the sea. A great fish swallows him, and Jonah spends three days inside it before being returned to dry land. He finally travels to Nineveh, where his warning produces an unexpected response. Jonah and the Whale is a memorable Bible story about disobedience, repentance, mercy and the difficulty of accepting compassion for people we dislike.
