Jonah 1:11-16 Bible Study .The storm was directed Jonah's way. It must have been an amazing storm.The ship was about to break apart. The sailors were afraid. They were throwing their cargo overboard…this was their livelihood! They were so afraid they were all praying to their gods for help…all except Jonah!
