The Book of Jonah

The Gospel of Christ, with its message of mercy to all who repent for the forgiveness of their sins through the Lord's death and resurrection, is incomparably greater than the story of Jonah. Yet this prophetic tale, so charming and disarming in its implicitly and power, remains forever'by Christ's own testimony'among the unique signs of God's saving work in His beloved Son Jesus.

SVS Press is pleased to provide this illustrated version of the prophecy of Jonah especially for children. May it serve one more time, and over and again, to open our minds and hearts to the Gospel of Christ which it is inspired to prefigure and signify.
