The people of Nineveh heard Jonah first, and once they did, there was an immediate response: they called for a fast and put on sack cloth. As with every system, information flows from bottom to top, especially when they happen at the grassroots. So when word reached the king, his response was also to tear... Continue Reading →
YOUR ASSIGNMENT BRIEF
Reference text: Jonah 1:1-10 Nearly every assignment at tertiary level comes with an assignment brief. In this can be found details of the task to be executed and where necessary, the how to complete the task, where to submit and when to submit by. That brief is meant to guide the individual executing the assignment.... Continue Reading →
SEASONS OF THE SILENCE OF GOD
