  Jonah and Bigfish

Anytime Youth by Richard T. Young

This is a somewhat zany retelling of the traditional story of Jonah. Although enhanced with some extra characters and scenes, the theme and overall message hold true to the Old Testament Scriptures.

Along the way Jonah interacts with some sailors who even...

Students in Mrs. Smith's class have forgotten, or never knew, the true meaning of Christmas.
