Publisher's summary
Get ready for the wettest, stormiest, wildest trip through the Gospels you've ever taken!
The Gospels are dramatic and incredibly wet, set in a rich maritime culture on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Yet we've missed much of this perspective - until now. Leslie Leyland Fields, a seasoned Alaskan fisherwoman, leads us across the waters of time and culture out onto the Sea of Galilee, through a rugged season of commercial fishing with her family in Alaska, and through the waters of the New Testament beside the ragtag fishermen disciples. Her own story and her fresh insights will challenge your understanding of Jesus and what it means to "come, follow me".

One day in the life of Christ. Call it a tapestry of turmoil: A noisy pictorial in which the golden threads of triumph knot against the black, frazzled strings of tragedy. Call it a symphony of emotions: A sunrise-to-sunset orchestration of extremes. One score is brassy with exuberance -- the next moans with sorrow. Whatever you call it -- call it real.

Common people. Maybe you heard their names in a childhood Sunday school class. They're not often the champions or the go-to sermon illustrations. They probably didn't stand at the foot of the cross or even hang next to Jesus on one of their own. But they pepper the pages of the Bible, reminding us that we're not alone. Just like you and me, these ordinary people stumbled and struggled. They faced their own sin and came face-to-face with a God who not only wipes it away, but also makes the common extraordinary.

Jesus practiced sabbath among those who had turned it into a dismal thing, a day for murmuring and finger-wagging, and he reminded them of the day's true purpose: liberation - to heal, to feed, to rescue, to celebrate, to lavish and relish life abundant. With this audiobook, Buchanan reminds us of this and gives practical advice for restoring the sabbath in our lives.

Life is a work in progress, as ever-changing as a sandy shoreline along the beach. During the years Joan Anderson was a loving wife and supportive mother, she had slowly and unconsciously replaced her own dreams with the needs of her family. With her sons grown, however, she realized that the family no longer centered on the home she provided, and her relationship with her husband had become stagnant. Like many women in her situation, Joan realized that she had neglected to nurture herself and, worse, to envision fulfilling goals for her future.

Story
There is no one whose brokenness is too broken for God. We know this is true for our friends when we want to encourage them. Yet, when it comes to the places of out innermost sense of regret, we often wonder if it is really true that God can work all things together for good for those who love Him. Angie Smith is one who was quick to encourage a friend, but struggled to believe that God could truly make something spectacular out of her brokenness and disappointments.

Story
From simple practices such as walking, working, and getting lost to deep meditations on topics like prayer and pronouncing blessings, Taylor reveals concrete ways to discover the sacred in the small things we do and see. Something as ordinary as hanging clothes on a clothesline becomes an act of devotion if we pay attention to what we are doing and take time to attend to the sights, smells, and sounds around us. Making eye contact with the cashier at the grocery store becomes a moment of true human connection.

Do we love people like Jesus loves them?Jesus loved verbs. He loved action words such as live, come, rest, learn, hear, give, go, and even die. Wouldn’t it make sense that the people who claim to follow Jesus would love the same words Jesus loved?Unfortunately, somewhere along the way someone tried to make the word Christian an adjective. So now people speak of "Christian" books and "Christian" music and "Christian" schools.

The time has come, argues Dr. Wess Stafford, for a major paradigm shift: Children are too important and too intensely loved by God to be left behind or left to chance. Children belong to all of us and we are compelled to intervene on their behalf. We must invest in children, all across the world.

For disciples everywhere!
We met Leslie and Duncan in central Africa many years ago! They were crossing the continent on their own and needed an oasis of rest before they moved on. Our time together was delightful. And so was my time shared with them in the reading of this inspirational book! Thanks for writing it Leslie! Bruce and Joy Tru316.com

Real-life stories
Leslie easily holds your attention with stories of her own experiences fishing in Alaska, and then comfortably relates them to the episodes of Jesus as He dealt with similar situations. Interesting and captivating!

Inspiring and insightful, one of the best books...
I've read in years. I've just finished my third time through, listening to it for fifteen minutes each night before I go to sleep.
I purchased this in the spring while looking for a book about the Galilee of Jesus' day and found it to be so much more than I expected. It's not just that it's written by a woman, although her combination of personal experience in the Pacific waters off Alaska and walking and fishing in Galilee are to the point. It's also that it's more of an extended reflection, not teaching or preaching. Her experience as a fisherman: when she talks about the passion that fishermen have for their work and the complete unlikeliness of Jesus' first followers to leave their nets, she brings her points home with insight, born of thirty years personal experience and her profound faith.
The narration is excellent, and it adds much to the book. I recommend it highly.

Heart wrenching and beautiful.
Leslie's story of being a fisherman's wife on Kodiak Island in Alaska and raising 6 children to be fishermen is astonishing, eye opening and mind boggling. On the practical side I will not be able to cook or eat a salmon filet without thinking of the tremendous struggle and hard work and sacrifice she and her family (and others) put out to catch these wonderful silver, pink and red fish. Wow.
Battling storms, hauling in empty nets, mending torn and ragged nets. What a hard life. One horrible night when mountainous waves and strong winds made it almost impossible to drag in the nets. Arms and back straining, water knee high in the boat...she had a miscarriage. She went to clean up and then back out in the dark alongside the men to get the catch in.... knowing a life had just been lost.
Leslie Fields' writing is captivating about her life, but intertwined in this story, she tells of a visit to Israel to hike around Galilee Sea. The people she meets, the sights and experiences, are threaded through with Bible stories about Jesus and his disciples... especially those who were fishermen. She identifies with them, learns from and with them, and mostly from Jesus' dealing with them. Just as He deals with her.
This book brought me joy, tears, insight, humor and sacred love.
I highly recommend it.
