Jonah and the Whale by Victoria Parker
The Discovering the Bible series provides an informative and accessible means of finding out why the Bible remains so important. Each story is accompanied by an information panel, illustrations and maps of where these events took place. This title retells the stories of the troubled years after Solomon's kingdom was divided. The people of Israel are punished with a series of godless rulers who lead the country ever further from God. Fighting this spiritual downfall, inspirational prophets, such as Elijah and Isiah, revive true worship. The Israelites struggle through the difficult years of the Exile, but survive these hard times and pull together as one nation before God.
