Would you mind if i used this as an illustration for a message i am preparing for church? Could you please email me to let me know? Thanks so much.
By all means, Trent. Please use the Jonah map with my full blessing. I’m glad to hear it’s of use.
Mark, may I print a copy of your Jonah map for my Hebrew exegesis class? By the way, Jonah’s trip to Tarshish indicates a distance 3-4 times the direction God told him to go. I wonder sometimes how far and to what extent will we go to disobey God? Great map! Thanks.
Absolutely, David. I always think of Psalm 139, when reading the opening of Jonah: “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.”
Can I use this map for a paper I am writing called, “On the Other Side of the Sea”
Sure thing, William.
I would like to use this map as a teaching aid
Feel free, Luvie. I’m glad it’s useful.
I am doing a youth lesson on Jonah May I print and use this map?

Great map!

I am doing a report on Jonah for my Bible class. Your map is perfect and I wondered if I could have permission to make a copy of it to attach to my report. When I do the report in front of the class maps really help show where everything is.
Sorry DY for the slow reply. I’ve been away on a conference. Yes – by all means use the Jonah map.
Your map is great. Just what I have been looking for. I would like to use it in Indonesian on 29/01. Could I get an editable version for that purpose? Or a version without boxes – just with the routes? That would be fantastic!
I’ll see what I can do, Traugott. I’ll email you back soon.
Thank you so much. I will be using in this my Sunday school lesson on Jonah’s disobedience and his discipline by God.
Mark,

Go ahead, Hannah, with my blessing.

This is a fantastic map. I am preparing a Bible study on Jonah for a group of about 15 teenagers would I have permission to use your map for a powerpoint and print out?

Hi Mark, May I use your map to show (Powerpoint) to about 170 college students at a Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) weekly meeting? Indeed, we are all a type of Jonah!
Absolutely, Pete. Yes, Jonah is a vivid picture of our relationship with God. Sin is running from God. Grace is God bringing us back (sometimes kicking and screaming).
I’m starting a sermon series on Jonah. Could I please use your map for bulletins.
Sure thing, Tom.
Would you mind if I would print the map for church purposes?
That’s fine, Rosanna. Please use the map with my permission.

Sure thing, Chris.
Hey Mark,
This is a great map. Would you mind if I used it in a Mission devotional for my Youth Group? We pick a book to study each trip and Jonah is what we are going to be focusing on this year. The devotional would be used by our mission team for the trip only.
Absolutely, Cassanlyn. I’m glad it’s helpful.

Great map. Could I please make copies for use in a Bible study? It’s a great tool.
Amy
Sure thing, Amy.
Love this, thank you. I still do not know the distance from Joppa to Tarshish in either nautical miles or kilometers, or miles. Would also like to know the contrasting miles to Nineveh from Gath-Hepher. I love the detail; also, may I use your work for my own personal study as well sharing with others?
Thanks bro,

I am speaking at an upcoming winter camp in Feb and would love to use this and in future speaking engagements with your permission that is. Thanks for the work you have done. And no I am not the Jonah that was swallowed by the great fish but named after him!
Feel free, Jonah. The book of your namesake is a great story about the great God of grace and compassion: https://visualunit.me/2014/09/22/jonah-structure/
When and where are you speaking? Sounds interesting!
Hi, I really liked your map, could I use it in my sermon?
Thanks
Go ahead with my blessing, Hudson.
Hi Mark,
I would be leading a lent bibble study group on the book of Jonah.
Can I have your permission to print this map as an illustration to the group?
Best regards,
Henry Akingbemisilu
Hi Henry. Feel free to print the map for your group.
Love your work, Mark!
This makes me think that – if Spain actually *is* Tarshish – that, based on West Asian cosmology as well as that of Greece and later on even Ireland – Jonah was actually trying to go, not only in the opposite direction from *The Mission*, but also to the very edge of the universe as it was understood at the time, or perhaps beyond, to ensure that he avoided showing mercy to those he was being sent to.
Anywho! If, on a discussion board, I were to post an image link to a design of yours, would that be okay?
We are starting a study on Jonah with a small group. I love this map and the ability to visualize the area and depth of Jonah’s desire to go far away. May I copy this for our group of 12? Thank you
You map is a valuable resource for the Book of Jonah. Thanks for your work on it. Would you grant us permission to use your map in a free downloadable Bible study series we publish for ESL/ELL adults? If so, what kind of credit line would you like us to include?
Would you please allow me to use it to teach my Sunday school students tomorrow? Thanks beforehand
Sure thing, Marta.
I’d like to use the Jonah map for a sermon series I’m preaching. Can I have permission to do so?
Yes, Frank. Feel free to use the map in your preaching.
This is a great map showing the cities mentioned and giving a perspective to the flight of Jonah? Could I use this map as an illustration for a message regarding Jonah?
