Jonah, the Fearful Prophet

Jonah, The Fearful Prophet: Color your own pictures contains the same text and puzzles as the picture book Jonah, the Fearful Prophet. What is different is that a child or parent can color the pictures and add his or her name to the cover and title page. Both books share the account of Jonah who ran from his God-given assignment. Fearful Jonah boarded a ship going far away from where God was sending him. Instead of escaping God, he found himself at the bottom of the sea, praying to God. Given a miraculous second chance, Jonah obeyed and delivered God's message to the people he feared. Even though he was successful, he wasn't happy with the outcome. He still had one more lesson to learn. Discussion questions and puzzles are also included in this book as reinforcement for learning.
