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.

The life of Moses is most inspiring. At a certain point in that life he was called by God to be "My servant." Indeed, living for 120 years, Moses' servanthood was divided into three periods of 40 years each.

Finally, throughout the entire concluding 40-year period of his long ...

The predicament, for some of us, is that we have been praying the rosary in a different way for so long that it can be difficult to pray it in a new way – the way it was intended.
