Winner of the 2002 Christianity Today Book Award! You’re One Step Away from the Adventure of Your Life. Deep within you lies the same faith and longing that sent Peter walking across the wind-swept Sea of Galilee toward Jesus. In what ways is the Lord telling you, as he did Peter, “Come”? John Ortberg invites you to consider the incredible potential that awaits you outside your comfort zone. Out … Out on the risky waters of faith, Jesus is waiting to meet you in ways that will change you forever, deepening your character and your trust in God. The experience is terrifying. It’s thrilling beyond belief. It’s everything you’d expect of someone worthy to be called Lord. The choice is yours to know him as only a water-walker can, aligning yourself with God’s purpose for your life in the process. There’s just one requirement: If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat.

The entire book is based on the accounts in Scripture of Peter getting out of the boat in a storm to walk towards Jesus. It has some good “spiritual meat” which will help you grow as a Christian. Good to read alone or in groups. Anything by John Ortberg is worth your time.
This book really got me thinking how much I really love God. I have gotten out of the boat before and it made me love God even more than before. It also made me think about all the times I should have gotten out of the boat but didn’t hear God’s voice calling me. I will try to hear His call more and try to be brave about speaking about Him who has given me so much. God really is “soooooo big”!
Not finished yet but my interest is waning.
