THE STORY OF JONAH: A STUNNING CRITIQUE OF MODERN DAY HUMANS
The story of Jonah showcases my favorite kind of storytelling. It cuts to the core of the human experience while delivering a compelling, conflict-filled narrative that still resonates with modern-day audiences. In this study guide, I break down the story of Jonah to determine how it works, what it's intending to say to audiences, and how it can inform modern storytellers.
STUDY GUIDE DESCRIPTION
I recently began working on a new novel inspired by the story of Jonah from the Bible. As I began to dig deeper, I was stunned by how the storyteller crafted the narrative. The story of Jonah is as relevant to modern audiences as it was to those who first engaged with it. Which means storytellers and audiences should dig deeper into this story to understand the core truths it shares about the human experience.Why a Study Guide?
This short book is full of questions to prompt readers to dig deeper into the story of Jonah, either in a self-study or as a part of a writing group or small group.
