Pray that God will give you wisdom as you study the book of Jonah. Read the entire book of Jonah aloud in one sitting. The story of Jonah being swallowed by a “great fish” is familiar enough that we might be tempted to skim the text. As you read the book of Jonah, imagine you are encountering it for the first time. At different junctures, pause and ask yourself what you expect to happen next. How does the story defy your expectations? What details had you not noticed before?
