IF YOU WANT TO WALK ON WATER, YOU'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF THE BOAT

One pre-loved, very good condition copy of this inspiring book by the author of The Life You've Always Wanted. In this book, John Ortberg invites you to consider the incredible potential that awaits if you step out of the boat onto the risky waters of faith. Deep within you lies the same faith and longing that sent Peter walking across the wind-swept sea of Galilee toward Jesus. Review by Bryan Hardwick 2002 In a passionate and engaging discussion of the biblical story of Matthew 14, the writer uses the example of Peter walking on the water to speak to the issues of how to face our fears and experience the power of God, as we trust Him to do things beyond what we could imagine. Utilizing his skill as a storyteller, Ortberg weaves the truth of God's word into the fabric of our daily lives with humorous stories and clever insight. Whatever your boat is, you will find this book delivers practical application and encouragement for the water-walker who chooses to trust God. Ortberg's approach is based in reality, noting that we should expect a few waves to slap us in the face, as he mentions, "failure comes with the territory - but so does the strong hand of Jesus pulling you up when the bottom drops out."
