In this episode, Pastor Dan Smail and Wendy Farone discuss the Book of Jonah. We tend to think of this story as being about a cute whale and a man inside who gets spit onto the seashore. But, the Story is SO not about a whale. or spit, for that matter. The 'big fish' is actually called Leviathan, a sea creature. There is no whale! Discussion focuses on the biblical intent of the writer of the book and it may change how you view Jonah. But, most of all, it may change how you feel about forgiveness and mercy.
