<div class="SSN_title">"LEARNING AN EASY LESSON THE HARD WAY"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Jonah is a little book that has created big problems for people with little faith. Many have had a hard time swallowing this little book. I suppose if it said a trident sub surfaced, took him on board, then submerged and returned him in three days to port, you would have no problem. Your biggest problem is your God is too small. Salvation Army lassie. Jesus attested to the truth of this story.</div>
