About this audiobook

Get ready for the wettest, stormiest, wildest trip through the gospels you've ever taken!

The gospels are dramatic and incredibly wet, set in a rich maritime culture on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Yet we've missed much of this perspective - until now. 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. Her own story and her fresh insights will challenge your understanding of Jesus and what it means to "Come, follow me."

    I have always wanted to visit Alaska. I have heard it is beautiful there but it can also be extremely cold. Some of the living conditions are uncomfortable and the people work dangerous jobs. As I began to read the book, the author took me on an adventure that I will never forget.I loved how the author shared her journey as a fisher woman and intricately told of the disciples. The vivid descriptions and connections to the Bible was breathtaking . It really made me dig deep into my understanding of commercial fishing and how hazardous it can be. Along the way she weaves truths and understanding on how much Jesus depended on his disciples. We are His disciples and He has called each of us to share His word. I felt like I was in the boat listening to Jesus talk as the waves crashed over us. Grab this book and be taken to the boat where Jesus was with His disciples. Listen as the author recounts the story and shares her own journey as she travels with her family , much like the disciples did with Jesus. It is very powerful and eye opening. "Above all, love each other deeply , because love covers over a multitude of sin." I received a complimentary copy of this book from Tyndale Blogger Program. The review is my own opinion and I was not compensated for it.

    Fields, the author of this volume, resides in Kodiak, Alaska, where she works with her family in the commercial fishing industry. This book relates stories from her own experience. She also travels to Israel where she visits the waters Jesus himself frequented -- the Sea of Galilee and Jordan River. I found the narrative to be fairly rambling, jumping around in locations of the stories, and making the reader question how they got from Alaska to Israel. I felt the narratives needed further editing to really polish them and have the desired impact. The Bible study materials in the appendix were quite good and probably could be used whether Fields' main book was read or not. I received an advance electronic copy of the book through Edelweiss for review purposes.
