The collection of books known as the Bible contains history's greatest stories. One of the most intriguing -- and controversial -- is the Book of Jonah. Tucked in near the end of the Hebrew Scriptures, the book chronicles the almost-legendary story of a prophet sent to preach to one of the ancient world's most brutal regimes, Assyria. And that is precisely the problem with Jonah; was he real? Or, as modern commentators like to speculate, was he some mixture of myth and truth? In this book, beloved conservative scholar Henry Morris presents compelling evidence that Jonah was in fact very real. Not only that, the "great fish" that swallowed him was also real. The spiritual insights that Morris has gleaned over the decades sparkle in the light of biblical truth. Readers will find their faith strangthened by the reality of Jonah's life, and the lessons he has for all of us.

This review is from: The Remarkable Journey of Jonah (Paperback)
Unlike the prior two authors, I found Henry's book both well researched and very compelling. If you enjoyed the Genesis Record, the Revelation Record or the New Defender's Bible, you enjoy the Journey of Jonah.
Henry covers the history and background of the scriptures and provides a new insight into the sailors of Tarnish. Henry also provides a number of new perspectives and corollaries between Jesus and Jonah's perils. I came to the story believing the factual nature of the Bible story and did not need the evidence that Henry provides in dispelling the unbeliever ideas about it being an old wife's tale or simply a moral lesson. Jesus had the opportunity to dispel any misunderstandings of Jonah's story and instead choose to reinforce the details rather than diminish them. I found this book to be both informative and yet thought provoking. If you want a better understanding of the book of Jonah, then this is a great source of information and inspiration.

Rate the book, Folks, not the author,
This review is from: The Remarkable Journey of Jonah (Paperback)
Excellent, technical, detailed. And to those previous reviewers who were critical of the author's "hyper-literal" or "right-wing" style, get a life... A little like criticizing the Bible because you don't believe in God -- you only reveal your OWN religious liberal-bias in doing so. Folks, many Christians - real live Christians - believe the Bible says what it means and means what it says. And to decide for oneself what God must've meant (other than what is plainly written) puts each one of us in the place of rewriting God's Word. If Morris is right-wing or "hyper-literal", so be it. That does NOT make his book bad, merely your personal bias. The Bible cautions us most strictly to neither add-to nor subtract-from God's Word, else we incur terrible consequences. I would rather stand before God one day and be blamed for taking Him "too literally," than to be asked why I insisted on re-interpreting what was plainly written there. Morris is an author who respects this view, and clearly deserves no criticism for it - especially from these "reviewers."

Ain't no monster big enough...,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Remarkable Journey of Jonah (Paperback)
I have enough faith in God to believe He created a fish large enough to hold Jonah for three days without digesting him. Perhaps it took special creation at that moment or maybe back during Creation Week he created this monster along with all of the other sea creatures.
Nonetheless, this is a great story that looks forward to the three days that Jesus would spend in the grave...as safe as Jonah.
