This Jonah picture book clearly explains this minor prophet for 4–6 year–olds
God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and tell the people there to stop doing bad things and turn back to God, but Jonah ran away. He took a boat in the opposite direction, so God sent a big storm and Jonah ended up in the belly of a big fish.
When Jonah told the Ninevites God’s message, they turned away from their evil ways, but instead of rejoicing, Jonah was angry.
This minor prophet has major lessons for readers today. Brian Wright and John Brown show us how Jonah points to Jesus, and teaches us about compassion and obedience.
Brian’s and John’s presentation of these undervalued books captures their messages in ways that young readers can grasp and very smoothly weaves them into the larger fabric of the Gospel. An excellent tool for helping children grasp and retain the Gospel as promised in these Old Testament books.

Timmer (Director and Professor of Biblical Studies, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan and author of Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Tyndale Old Testament Commentary 26)John and Brian have captured the message of these books and packaged them in a form ideal for parents who hope to train their children up in the faith.
-- James M. Hamilton Jr. (Professor of Biblical Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)What a great resource for families! Kids’ books on individual books of the Bible. True to Scripture and accessible to little ones. I can’t wait to read these to my own children.
-- Andrew Abernathy (Professor of Old Testament, Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois and author of ‘God’s Messiah in the Old Testament’)With bright illustrations and lots of animal pictures, God’s Daring Dozen provides a fun and helpful way to increase biblical literacy and open some less familiar parts of Scripture to young listeners.
-- The Gospel CoalitionHere is a series that introduces small children to the world and words of biblical prophets. These books fill a large gap in the Christian nurture of young children.
