This is a book that focuses on an account in the New Testament about Peter walking on water after seeing Jesus appear to the disciples' boat in the Sea of Galilee. The ten chapters digress different parts of the account and encourages readers to....walk on water, or have hope even when seeing the wind, or wait on the Lord in the storm, or worship the Lord for what He is.....ten different themes in the ten chapters. Many illustrations, funny examples, encouraging words....It reads like ten sermons in a series preached by the author, that are later transcribed into a book. What I like about this book is they are ten VERY GOOD sermons. I become encouraged and refreshed whenever I finish a chapter. What I don't like about this book is, because these are very good, thoughtful sermons, I feel I need more time to internalize the inspiration and challenges each chapter presents. It takes time to reflect on the points and let the content resonate with what I encounter in my daily life, before going on the next chapter. So finishing the book in a day, or even a week, feel to rushed for me. Maybe one chapter a week is better. ( )

Excellent, encouraging, motivating, hearing Jesus call and responding, overcoming fear with faith. ( )

In this book, Ortberg ask you to consider the incredible that awaits you outside your comfort zone. Jesus is waiting to meet you in ways that will change you forever. It is terrifying & thrilling to know him as only a water-walker can.

This inductive Bible study focuses on stepping out in faith. The questions of the study were hard to understand at times and didn't seem to relate, but did prompt excellent discussion. The DVD quality was poor. This most highly recommended for mature believers, possibly for beginners-intermediate but not for seekers or those new to the faith. (2015-16 reviews, Janet & Steve Young)

The author takes us on a path to trusting in God, looking in detail at the Biblical anecdote about Peter walking to Jesus on the water. It's inspirational, encouraging, and helpful. The author uses the passage metaphorically for Christian believers today, in the sense of leaving our comfortable safety zones and walking with God into potentially difficult circumstances.

It's well-written with interesting anecdotes and clear Scriptural references. Re-reading it nearly ten years after the first time, I found it challenging and thought-provoking, yet accessible to anyone. Definitely recommended. ( )
