Winner of the 2017 Christianity These days Book of the Year for Christian Living.

Get able for the wettest, stormiest, wildest shuttle through the Gospel you have got ever taken!
The gospels are dramatic, wild, and wet―set in a wealthy maritime culture at the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus’ first disciples were ragtag fishermen, and Jesus’ messages and miracles teem with water, fish, fishermen, net-breaking catches, sea crossings, boat-sinking storms, and even a walk on water. Because this world is foreign and distant to us, we’ve got missed much about the disciples’ experiences and about following Jesus―until now. Leslie Leyland Fields―a well-known author, respected biblical exegete, and longtime Alaskan fisherwoman―crosses the waters of time and culture to take us out at the Sea of Galilee, through a rugged season of commercial fishing with her circle of relatives in Alaska, and through the waters of the New Testament.

You’ll be swept up in a fresh experience of the gospels, traveling with the fishermen disciples from Jesus’ baptism to the final miraculous catch of fish―and also experiencing Leslie’s own efforts to follow Christ out on her own Alaskan sea. In a time when such a lot of are “unfollowing” Jesus and leaving the Church, Crossing the Waters delivers a fresh encounter with Jesus and explores what it means to “come, follow me.”
