Redemption

by Susan Dayley

Overview

It is eighth century BC. No Hebrew will purposely venture into the Assyrian Empire, whose practice of barbarous slaughter casts a shadow of fear over all of Israel. But God calls Jonah, an Israelite prophet, to cry repentance to the evil empire's capital - the great and terrible city of Nineveh. Fearing the Assyrians and doubting the wisdom of the divine call, Jonah flees in the opposite direction. But in a series of miracles, God gives Jonah a second chance to obey.

Journey with Jonah in a wealth-laden ship of Tarshish, hear his prayers inside the belly of a great fish, witness his struggles working in a desert caravan, and feel his terror as he finally arrives in Nineveh. And while Jonah does eventually preach in the great city, the prophet still has some lessons to learn...

With historically accurate details, Redemption is a story of repentance, trust, and God's love for all his children.

About the Author

Susan Dayley is the second of nine children. She has loved stories and the magic of words since childhood, and she spent many nights telling adventure stories to her sisters. Susan would often escape to a grassy meadow or climb a backyard willow tree to read a beloved book. As a youth, her favorites include Joe's Boys, Call of the Wild, and Black Beauty.

In school, Susan loved best the writing classes, but despite being encouraged to publish her stories, she never took the leap until now. For several years, Susan taught elementary education at private LDS-based schools, where she indulged her love of literature, history, language, and the scriptures.

In addition to writing, Susan enjoys reading classic literature, exploring trails, gardening, BYU football, traveling, and above all, spending time with her husband and their children.
