by Linford Stutzman Seafaring isn't for the faint of heart, and to prove it, Christian college professor Linford Stutzman and his wife, Janet, took on the challenge of a lifetime, reliving the biblical sailing journeys of the Apostle Paul for what would be an entire calendar year. Three years in the planning, the trip hadn't yet begun when it experienced rough seas, including international red tape, huge budget surprises and costly repairs to the newly christened Sailing Acts, a twenty-five-year old (1979) Westerly 33-foot sailing yacht, which needed much intensive cleaning and repair work before even the leaving its Greek harbor. Linford and Janet Stutzman had sailed before, but only small pleasure crafts, so this was a new and different type of challenge, requiring an in-depth course that included advanced seamanship, survival techniques in adverse weather conditions, mechanical training and a crash course in international relations. All this for the purpose of walking in the shoes of the Apostle Paul, seeing the journey through his eyes and making history come alive to better teach students and to write Sailing Acts. An unforgettable story of courage, perseverance, hope and a new understanding of the word 'faith,' Sailing Acts takes the reader along, letting him see the sights, sounds, traditions and history of myriad Middle Eastern cultures. For those who love scripture, history and Christ, this book will add a new dimension to the journey of Paul - on Sailing Acts. Highly recommended. |
