Writing Crusin’ for a Brusin’ – The Jonah Songs

Several years ago, I wrote a song called The Belly of the Whale.  It was based on the familiar story from the first three chapters of the book of Jonah.  In the story, Jonah is called to preach to the people of Nineveh, he runs away from God, is swallow by a whale, is spit up after three days and he finally goes to Nineveh to preach where the people turn to God.  My song stopped at this point in the story.  This is also the point where most people stop when they are telling the story of Jonah.  But there is one more chapter in the book.
