How it begins

Once upon a time, in the land of Israel, God called a man named Jonah to go to the great city of Nineveh. "Tell them to turn away from their wicked ways!" He said. But Jonah was afraid and didn’t want to go. Instead, he ran away, hopping on a ship sailing in the opposite direction. Little did he know, his adventure was just beginning, and soon, he would discover what happens when you try to run from God!
