Description

Are you in need of hope? Are the distractions of this world causing you to fear and take action into your own hands? Are you feeling as if all the storms of your life and dragging you deeper and deeper? Take heart, there is hope! Are you willing to seek it out? Jeremy B. Strang’s new book, “Stay In The Boat,” takes you along with the Apostle Paul in his journey as a prisoner heading for Rome. In this epic voyage, a violent storm tossed sea causes fear, loss of hope, and destruction. Yet in the midst of all the chaos, Paul delivers a clear message of truth and hope – for he was resolved in the Spirit, ordained of God and Christ centered. No matter if you are a seasoned believer, one who has recently come to Christianity, or seeking out truths of Jesus Christ, this book has something for everyone. If you have been struggling with issues, storms, or sins in your life, or simply do not know where to turn next, Jeremy helps you to refocus your vision. Do not abandon the boat! Excerpt: “If we identify with Him (Jesus) in that we say we are Christians, then should He not be our consuming joy, our chief motivation, our end goal? For to set our sights on Him means that we should be looking to Him both in private and in public, in times of plenty and times of drought, in times of ease and in times of heartache, in the daylight and in the night watch, in the long range, and in the moment-by-moment decisions. It is to have Him in reality and not mere theory; walking with Him in truth and not in show for one hour on Sunday; it is to really know Him and not just facts about Him. Sights set on Him means that the style of our life be affected by Him, resulting in Him having so captivated our attention that everything else seems but dim. As I have heard it said, that if we would see just how valuable, how precious, how worthy Jesus Christ truly is, He Himself will become the Great Distraction of our life, thus causing us to have our hope and our focus set on Him, thereby turning from the secondaries of life. For hope set on anything else is secondary and futile and is no hope at all.”
