In troubled waters

Clear, practical biblical commentaries from a well-known author.

Dan Drápal goes through the Book of Jonah in detail, drawing parallels between Jonah's story of fleeing from God and our lives today. He offers encouragement that God also “arranges” all sorts of situations for us, with the intention of leading us into a relationship with him. In the second part, the author turns his attention to Moses and the difficult-to-understand parts of his life story: the circumcision that made the Lord angry with him, the mysterious Cushite wife, the dispute with Moses' siblings, and his relationship with his father-in-law, Jethro.

The book is supplemented by a commentary on the categories of “children, young men, fathers” from the First Epistle of John and a thematic study on how to glorify God.
