    About this ebook

    Fear. It paralyzes us and makes us want to flee from conflicts, problems, responsibilities, life. It makes us want to turn to our drugs of choice, whatever they may be, since they offer us immediate distraction and relief. When we run in fear, we run as Jonah didaway from the Lordbut as the Lord in His dynamic power, wisdom, and perfect love was ever at Jonahs side, so He is at ours.



    In I Ran, but I Couldnt Hide: Solace, Serenity, and Joy from the Book of Jonah, author and former pastor Bill Favorite traces Jonahs dramatic journey from learning Gods intended path for him and his subsequent flight in the opposite direction to his repentance, deliverance, success, and surrender. Written from Jonahs perspective, I Ran, but I Couldnt Hide invites us to relate our own experiences to the trials and victories Jonah faced.


    There is wondrous peace and assurance in learning to lean on the Lord and discovering the bliss of joyous surrender. Like Jonah, we all have longings, and sometimes we strayGod knows this. Even so, every sunrise and sunset marks another day in Gods time of grace, and no matter how often and in what ways we stray from His Word and will, He will always watch over us, always guide us, and always answer his door with open, ever-loving arms.
