Christians can easily fall into a parody of following Jesus rather than engage in the real thing. The contrast is like swimming in a sterile chlorinated pool verses plunging into the burgeoning life of the ocean.
The slices of life in this book include studied observations, stories of victory and failure, scriptural insights, exhortations and bits of hard-earned wisdom from a seasoned ocean swimmer.
These devotions are purposed to assist individuals or small groups of Christ-followers in reflecting, discussing, and discovering how to leave the pool and pursue abundant life with God.
These devotions will:
<li>Serve as a compass to discover where you’re swimming and why</li>
<li>Guide your development as an ocean swimmer</li>
<li>Stimulate you or your small group toward deeper spiritual waters</li>
<li>Renew your passion for the adventure that is following Jesus</li>

Season's Christmas Quest: The Dog's Story

It is days before Christmas, and something is very wrong. Darkness covers the skies, ash mixes with the snowy ground, and young Melissa lies sick and dying in a hospital bed. Season, a young golden dog desperate to save her from death, embarks on a dangerous and frightening journey through dark forests and fiery mountains to reveal a mystery beyond his comprehension. Battling vicious animals and dark magic, can he survive in order to reveal the strange mystery in the words of his own master? In this inspirational story, even the animals can discover the Christmas miracle. "A thrilling new twist on the heart-warming story of a dog's odyssey to reunite with his human family, Pollard creates a dark fantasy . . . with layered references to traditional folklore, Christian symbolism, and an apocalyptic setting . . . not the sweet and expected tale of a domestic dog alone in the wild . . . a fast-paced adventure" -Clarion Review "In smooth prose interwoven with the right amount of explication, the plot features dangerous wildlife and harsh natural elements until Season faces his final confrontation . . . mystical, divine forces at war . . . a sudden turn that infuses the novel with new life. The fitting conclusion should leave readers of all ages satisfied. Season hopefully has more quests in his future" -Kirkus Reviews
