Jonah Runs From God in a Storm

Jonah was called by God to go to the great city of Nineveh, which was the capital of Assyria. Jonah for a variety of different reasons does not want to go and so he runs from God. He goes down to Japa and boards a ship that's headed towards Tarshish in an attempt to get away from his enemies. But when they find him sound asleep on board their boat during a storm, they know there is no other solution than to throw him overboard. The sailors then discover that Jonah's God is actually one of mercy.
