Jonah and the Great Fish
Jonah 1:1–4:11
God asked Jonah to go to a big city called Nineveh. God wanted the people there to stop doing bad things.
But Jonah did not want to go. He got on a boat and sailed far away the other way.
Whoosh! A big storm came. The waves went up and down, up and down.
Splash! Jonah went into the sea. But God sent a great big fish to swallow him and keep him safe. Inside the fish, Jonah prayed.
Ptooey! The fish spit Jonah out onto the beach. This time Jonah went to Nineveh. The people said sorry to God, and God forgave them.
God gives second chances. God loves you!
