The Old Testament account of the prophet Jonah’s remarkable experience in the belly of the whale is highly debated by Bible commentators. Though many believe it is pure allegory and doubt God’s ability to create a whale large enough to hold a man in its belly, Dr. Henry Morris provides a well-researched biblical history as a compelling defense for the literal interpretation of the book of Jonah. Jesus the Messiah confirms the record of Jonah as absolutely real and profoundly important in the New Testament (Matthew 16:17 and Luke 11:29-32). In the Remarkable Journey of Jonah, Morris ...

It is time to get your whole bible back! If you want to know what God is saying - go read all the verses in your bible that are NOT underlined.
