Preacher on the Run (Jonah) (Welwyn Commentary)

Jonah's reluctance to go is mirrored in many churches today but this book reminds us that no erroneous attitude and no distance should stand in the way of God's people doing God's work in God's power. His commands are to be obeyed and the result left to him. And while all the prophets of the Old Testament are milestones along the road to Calvary, the prophecy of Jonah opens a special window on the New Testament age, when the Lord Jesus Christ would be proclaimed to all the ends of the earth.
