In 1968 Frank Sinatra recorded a song which quickly became his signature musical theme. It was an immediate hit and was later recorded and released by Elvis Presley with similar reception by listeners around the world. No doubt the song’s rapid climb and enduring presence on the charts, including induction of Sinatra’s version to the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2000, was due to the compatibility of the lyrics with the spirit of self-centered individualism dominating modern thought.

It is one thing for people, in general, to agree with Frank’s musical philosophy, but it is quite another when those who know God and are called to serve Him adopt that same philosophy, resolving to do it their way. However, this is exactly the case with the prophet Jonah as demonstrated in the Old Testament book which bears his name.

We will examine the pitfalls and consequences of that kind of thinking in a four-part series aptly

entitled, “I Did It My Way: Studies in the Book of Jonah.” Join us now for the first episode which we call, “In the School of Big Fish.”
