Synopsis

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 fishermendisciples. Her own story and her fresh insights will challenge your understanding of Jesus and what it means to “Come, follow me.”

About The Author

Leslie Leyland Fields is an award-winning author of ten books, a national speaker, a popular radio guest, and a commercial fisherwoman for four decades, working with her husband and six children in a salmon-fishing operation on their own island off the coast of Kodiak Island, Alaska.
