One with Nineveh brilliantly puts today's political and environmental debates in a larger context and offers some bold proposals for improving our future prospect.

Book Description
The book of Jonah remains an engaging part of the religious lives of Jews and Christians. On the human level, the dramatic story speaks to us of the possibility of second chances in our lives. On the spiritual level, it describes the paths an individual and a people can take leading them back to God.Medieval Jewish commentaries unfold new perspectives of meaning beyond the surface of the biblical text. In explaining the verses of the book of Jonah, the commentators explore many core topics, including human nature, our relationship with God, the interaction of Jews and gentiles, and the meaning of our lives. This book offers the first full English translation of the commentaries of Rashi, Ibn Ezra, Kimchi, Abarbanel, and Malbim. It also provides an explanation of their comments, making them accessible to contemporary Western readers. Until now one needed a high level of Hebrew to explore these works. Go to Nineveh opens this world to the modern English reader. The book also includes the author's own modern commentary, considering questions not raised by earlier commentators.

Book Description
Is there a person, a situation, or a place that scares you? Overwhelms you? Angers you? Makes you question God? Causes you to want to run in the opposite direction of where you should be going, hoping nobody finds you? That's your Nineveh! The Old Testament prophet, Jonah, faced such a place, and experienced all of those emotions and then some. Yes, that's right: Jonah. That poor man we learn about in Sunday school, who was swallowed by a whale, and then was spit up on a foreign shore, all because he didn't obey God. We remember only the simplest of details about him, and if he reappears in our adult life, we smile, and remember that rather childish story about him...a whale can't swallow a man! And so Jonah joins that Sunday school parade of interesting characters whose shenanigans are to remind us to obey God. Simple. Right? Wrong. Jonah and his experiences speak to us where we are, right here and now. Why? Because all of us have a Nineveh in our lives: a person, place or situation that is so formidable that we are tested to our very core, causing us to slowly watch our faith erode, questioning God and yet wanting, in the deepest recesses of our heart, to have some kind of victory. Jonah's response to God's command that he go and preach to a hugely powerful and scary city of Nineveh makes this prophet walk off the Sunday school stage and become a guide for us as we face our Nineveh. We learn it's OK to question God; it's OK to be scared, angry or depressed. However, we must find a place to rest and secure our faith, securing it not to our fear, but to the One who calls us to higher ground. Our fears lead us to focus on ourselves - what we can't do, why we can't do it, why we won't do it - and like Jonah, we seek our own solutions and fall into disobedience to the One who calls us. When we don't ignore our Nineveh (it's hard to do that!) and when we realize His strength is needed for us to face it, it is then that we draw upon Him. This acknowledgement of our weakness in the face of our fears leads us to a dependence on Him, which is His heart's desire! He longs for us to join with Him, and with some feet attached to our faith, be able to say, "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength!" (Philippians 4:13). Then, with His strength, we can go out and accomplish the unique tasks He has for us and us alone. His blessings will follow. Jonah knew God. Jonah was well acquainted with his own fears. But, Jonah didn't allow God to change his perspective, and his fears blinded him to God's power. But God loved Jonah enough to guide him to a change of heart. Let's walk with Jonah and prepare our hearts for a journey. You may not feel victorious right away, but as someone once put it, "Better to walk in the darkness with Jesus than to walk in the light alone."

Book Description
As a student of God's word, one common issue I continuously encountered and was often confronted with, was the arduous task of reading old written Biblical translations. Many use that as an excuse to avoid reading a Bible. I believe one should constantly learn, especially "God's Word". In fact, I believe if you're too old to learn, you might be too old to live. Thus I chose to challenge myself to use my God given poetic gift to write biblical events in a more palatable form, making it somewhat easier to absorb, while being very careful to avoid diluting it's strength and message.Herein is the very familiar story of the Prophet Jonah, who was commanded by God to go to Nineveh and preach. Nineveh was an Assyrian Nation, which was historically an antagonizing enemy of Israel. Jonah did not want to preach to them, mainly because, him delivering God's word might cause some to repent, and God hears a repentant prayer. Jonah didn't want God to hear their prayer and or show them mercy. He wanted God to judge and destroy his "enemies.Raised in a racially hostile environment, I was challenged to learn to love my enemies. I now pose this question; will you go to your prospective present day Nineveh and witness for God, or do you hate your enemies more than you love God?This is the Poetically Correct Story entitled:"To Nineveh or Not" ? By: The ? Poet Joel.

Book Description
The book of Jonah was written by Jonah in Palestine in about 853-824 BC. The book is a story of a biased Jew who preached and converted the whole city of Nineveh after being chastened by the Lord for his disobedience. The purpose of the book was to show why Nineveh was destroyed and the Assyrian Empire was delayed by God for almost a century; to show that God's mercy and salvation are for both Jews and Gentiles who repent and turn to him; and to illustrate the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
