Why did Jodie decide to write about Esther and Jonah?

Title: Part 3 of 3 - Are You at a Crossroads Today?
Topic: Book Review
Discussed by Jodie Niznik
with Jodie Niznik (www.jodieniznik.com/)

Questions/Issues iscussed:

 God used a violent storm to get Jonah’s attention. Do we all face storms like Jonah? Do we sometimes get caught up in other people’s storms like the men on the boat with Jonah?

What does Jodie love about Jonah’s story?

What can we learn from Jonah about fear?

Does God provide for us daily? What is His “providential care”? Jodie reminds us: “Even when those terrible things happen, God still holds us and He still cares for us. He will provide everything we need to get through that situation.” Does this mean that life is easy? Nope! She continues: “God, in is providence, is standing there with you and He is with you every step of the way.”
