I love the story of Jonah. The childlike transparency with which he displayed the sins of jealousy, bitterness, self-righteousness, rebellion and disobedience acts as a brightly-lit, crystal-clear full-size mirror into the ugliest, but most pitiful and God-needy part of my own heart.
I dug around online and found a lot of good resources on this subject. For now I just want to ponder the storm and the slumber that link the OT and the NT together.
