Our musical “Go, Go, Jonah” is written by Kathie Hill, one of the nation’s top composers of children’s musicals. Kathie Hill brings a fresh and fun approach to every project she writes and “Go, Go, Jonah” is certainly no exception. The music is infectious and just plain enjoyable for the kids to sing. They’ll especially enjoy the songs Terminator Too and Nineveh. “Go, Go, Jonah” is serious and silly, but it is a play with a purpose as it makes the story of the Old Testament book of Jonah come alive. T he Bo ok o f Jona h The Old Testament book of Jonah is a valuable one for children to learn about. It is a unique work of literature, a book of history and geography, and has profound moral lessons. The primary lesson that the book of Jonah teaches is regarding prejudice and hate. The prophet Jonah struggles with prejudice and hatred toward a nation that God sends him to speak to. In fact, Jonah tries to go the opposite direction and hide from God. That’s where the famous giant fish comes into the plot. After being spit out of the fish, Jonah goes to Nineveh, but still has hatred in his heart toward these people. What will God teach him about tolerance and loving your enemies? The other lesson that comes from this book is that God is not only a God of judgment, but He is a God of love. This book helps one to understand that God is compassionate and caring for those who have lost their sight of Him. Go t Qu es ti on s?
