There is no Reports > General Journal option on my Mac version.

What I do is open the General Journal, use View > Filter By to select the range of transactions I want, and then use Reports > Account Report.

(By default, the General Journal shows only transactions in the last month, but you can Filter it and Sort it using the View menu, as above).
