Jonah's Reluctance: Jonah's initial message to Nineveh lacks any call to repentance or mention of God's mercy. His focus on Nineveh's impending destruction reflects his own reluctance and possibly his desire to see justice (or vengeance) rather than mercy. Despite being chosen by God as a prophet, Jonah struggles with his role and with God's compassion towards the Ninevites.

About this Plan
Jonah is a somewhat unique book because rather than focusing on Jonah's message, it focuses on his own story. In an age where many are deconstructing or questioning their faith because of perceiving God to be too strict, harsh, or un-loving (especially in the Old Testament), Jonah’s story stands as an example of God’s great love for humanity and redemptive purpose for the salvation of the whole world.
