Dear Friend,
"A Whale of a Tale" is one of my favorite
camp Bible studies. I initially wrote it a
number of years back for a large church in
Texas, but since then it has been used by
churches around the world!



• This youth camp curriculum was
designed to teach the basic truths
of obedience in addition
to evangelism in the context of a
Biblical character. The advantage of
going through a book and looking at
one man's story is that we see not only
the teaching but the example. It
becomes much more real! Youth relate
more to stories than to the bare facts.



• The story of Jonah is the primary
framework of this series. The key to making
this series come to life is to help youth
relate with Jonah in each narrative. Explore
how principle characters probably felt.
Explore how youth would feel in similar
circumstances. Explore how youth would
respond in similar situations. Explore the
things that youth can learn from these
characters. Special learning activities might
be to have youth rewrite the stories in a
modern situation, act them out, etc. A
creative teacher could dress up as Jonah or
one of the other characters and tell the
story from a first person perspective. Be
creative.



• The other advantage of using a Bible
Narrative is the continuity between
studies. We are able to see Jonah from
beginning to end, his disobedience and
his obedience, his faults and his
triumphs, his bad attitudes and his
good ones. The passage itself is the
primary illustration.



• Many of the questions take the form
of multiple choice with options. At
times the options provided are
humorous and then when applied we
discover that while we would laugh at
Jonah if he did something, we
actually do the same thing ourselves.
Use the multiple choice answers to
create discussion.



Here are the Key Teaching Points
from the lessons:

• Jonah 1:1-3 God says "effect." Jonah says
"defect”
• Jonah 1:4-5 God sent lightning rods. Each
man sought his gods.
• Jonah 1:5-8 Jonah closed his eyes while the
men asked "why?”
• Jonah 1:9-13 Jonah says "throw" and the
sailors say "row”
• Jonah 1:14-17 The sailors picked up and
threw and the storm was through.
• God didn't just stop the storm he wanted
Jonah to reform.



• Jonah 1:17 Jonah didn't follow so God told
the fish to swallow
• Jonah 1:1-17 Though Jonah ran away, God
used him anyway!
• Jonah 2:1-9 For disobedience Jonah
prayed, and thus Jonah prayed.
• Jonah 2:10 I'm sure Jonah stunk when the
whale blew chunks
• Jonah 3:1-9 Jonah finally went and
Ninevah repents
• Jonah 3:10 Ninevah repents and God
relents



• Jonah 4:1-3 Jonah says "NO!" because
God's anger is too slow.
• Jonah 4:4 Jonah puts up a fight. God
says you have no right.
• Jonah 4:3,8 Jonah would rather not try.
He'd rather give up and die.
• Jonah 4:6 Jonah sat down to whine and
God sent a vine
• Jonah 4:6 While Jonah sat in shade, his
bad attitude began to fade.
• Jonah 4:5-8 Jonah sat in comfort to wait
so God sent fishbait.
• Jonah 4:9-11 Jonah is still mad so God
points to the lad.



Each key point takes the form of a rhyme
and is applied both to Jonah's situation
and to ours.

I have created it an ebook (PDF) format
that includes both a teacher's guide and
student worksheets. The Teacher's guide
explains the options and comes with an
additional commentary on the book of
Jonah. The student worksheets are found
at the end of the teacher's guide and are
intended to be printed on three sheets of
letter-size paper (front and back) and
folded in half. Make as many copies as you
need of the teacher's guide and student
worksheets. It couldn't be easier!

What's a resource like this worth?

• This is a complete Bible Study Series that is
reproducible - you can make as many
copies as you need for your camp. Most
camp materials from bookstores require
you to buy one copy for each youth at the
camp. Depending on the size of your youth
group, it could cost you 100's of dollars!
• I have been paid US$500 to write
customized camp Bible study materials like
this for church youth camps that were
similar in format to this study on Jonah.



But you can get this Camp Resource
today for only US$14.97

That's right, just a fraction of what it's
really worth. Why would I make it so
affordable? Simply because my purpose is
to help as many people as possible.

This is an electronic book (e-book) that
can be downloaded to your computer in a
flash. Which means you can be reading it
and using it in as little as 5 minutes from
now.



US$14.97 is a drop in the ocean compared
to what other people are charging for
similar resources.

And don't worry, if for any reason you're
not happy with the content, you have a
complete guarantee to protect your
investment.
