Dear Dave:

I Wanted To Tell You What A Tremendously Uplifting And Gripping Book This Was! It Became Somewhat Of A Devotional For Me. Each Morning Before Work I Read Another Chapter, Eager To See What Adventures You Would Have That Day. Your Testimony In This Book Has Inspired My Walk In Many Ways: My Prayer Life, My Courage To Witness And My Understanding Of What An Intimate Part Of Our Lives God Really Is. I Want To Thank You From The Bottom Of My Heart For Touching My Life With This Book!

God Bless You,

Jim Maryniak

..... When I was in the valley between two waves, I wasn’t able to see over the top of the next mountain of water that came rushing at me. ..... Each giant wave looked like it was going to crash over the stern, sweep me off the deck like a rag doll and swamp the boat .....
