Choose Your Own Adventure is a series of children's gamebooks where each story is written from a second-person point of view, with the reader assuming the role of the protagonist and making choices that determine the main character's actions and the plot's outcome. During the next four Sundays, we will examine scripture from the same perspective.This week we are talking about Jonah, and this book very oddly ends on a question. Who is the question for, Jonah or us? If it is for us, how will we answer the question of whether God should show mercy or not? Each week we will vote via smartphones on where the story goes next.
