Have you ever read a book, then seen that a movie was made based on it? Think of the Fellowship of the Rings movies…or the Chronicles of Narnia.

 

Sometimes we LIKE the direction they go with it, sometimes not.

 

I wonder about a movie made about Jonah. What would that LOOK like?

 

If a movie were made about the book of Jonah, we’d see adventure he took on the ship heading west toward Tarshish....and him being cast overboard....

 

Maybe we’d see him flailing about in the water before being swallowed by a fish.....

 

THEN…he’d wash up on the shore, before continuing on to Nineveh, where he proclaimed a message of repentance—and they did!

 

But any good movie has a twist at the end. Something unforseen, unexpected. It makes the viewer walk away, thinking.

 

Imagine this movie about Jonah…and imagine the final scene....
