joining us to teach a Sunday school lesson on the Prophet Jonah.

Pastor Tom Baker, host of a radio show called Law and Gospel, for almost 30 years he met monthly to prepare his Sunday school teachers for the classroom.

Ancient Nineveh was located near the modern city of Masuul, M-O-S-U-L in Iraq.
