1. Where does Jonah tell us why he did not want to go to Nineveh? Is his reasoning justified?


2. Do you struggle with wanting God to be merciful only to people you like? Why or why not?


3. How do we practically grow to know more about what God cares about?


4. What makes it difficult in your life to care first and foremost about what God cares about?


5. Why is focusing on our personal physical comfort easier than focusing on the spiritual well being of ourselves and others (as Jonah does at the conclusion of the book in chapter 4 with the shade God gives and takes away)?


6. What does looking at the book of Jonah like a mirror give you to consider in your own life?
