Kids love stores.  The stories in this book will teach at several levels. (1) It uses the actual Hebrew words from the book of Jonah.  (2) It uses actual Bible characters.  (3) It creates opportunities to discuss biblical values.  Without realizing it, students are taken into the Semitic world that Jesus grew up in, and experience th Semitic ways of communication.

This is a painless way to learn.  Better yet, this is a loving way to end a day.  These stories are like exotic day dreams.  Teachers can use this book as passive entertainment, but it doubles as a foreign language program.  The Jonah Project is a single-mined curriculum, designed to teach your child how to read the book of Jonah (in the original Hebrew) in about six months.

In the past, Semitic children have enjoyed this bed-time advantage.  Now, Christian children can utilize the same cultural tools that Semitic parents have used for centuries.

Learning Hebrew is more than learning just words.  There is Semitic thinking, without which, many expressions have no meaning.  Even a common word, like "covenant," can lose its precision over time.  Since "covenant" means, to cut, we can forget how Semitic people would formalize an agreement.
