Publisher's Synopsis
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And, who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I, Lord. Send me."
-Isaiah 6:8
As I was finalizing this book, I struggled with a title for the collection of stories I was telling. The common thread was, of course, the story told in Matthew 14:22-29 when Jesus, standing on the Sea of Galilee, called Peter to come to him. Peter heard the Master's voice and stepped out of the safety of the boat. And, for his faith, Peter walked on water. It is important to remember that the sea at the time of the walk was rough and the winds were strong. The walk was hard.
Water Walkers is about contemporary Christian men and women who were immersed in careers when they were called to leave what they were doing and become messengers of the good news of Jesus Christ. Their stories of calling and discernment, of walking on rough seas, are worthy of understanding.
The stories in this book demonstrate that God's call to full-time Christian service comes at many times, in many ways, some subtle, some not so subtle. But all, at some point, are clear and irrefutable. The stories of the servants profiled here are provided in short, informal and easy-to-read chapters that are engaging and inspiring. Cover to cover the book is a study in discernment through the lives of .39 water walkers.
Water Walkers, may raise the question for you: "Am I called?"
