Parents, youth leaders and Sunday school teachers now have a new resource to teach the lesson of Jonah, there’s price to pay when you disobey.  A companion workbook to Just Like Jonah Wail Tales, a short story collection by Cheryl Rogers, is now available.

Wail tales are exaggerates tales or woe, or fish tales, involving a modern Jonah who disobeys God. In each tale, the main character lands in a whale of trouble, but calls upon God.

 “It is hope that young people will learn through these wail tales rather than living through their own,” says Cheryl Rogers, who publishes New Christian Books Online Magazine.

The original short story collection targets 10- to 14-year-olds while Just Like the Jonah Workbook targets all those who would teach them privately or in a group setting. The workbook, which retails for $3.99, contains discussion questions and Scripture citations. It is available in ebook formats for the iPad, Kindle, Nook, computer and other ereaders.
