Customer Reviews

If you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat.
I was disappointed because I had wanted the book in regular size and I
I did not read the offering well enough and got instead a miniture which
will be the subject of a lot of jokes but not the book that I had wanted.
The book itself, in its orginal form written by John Ortberg is excellent.
I wanted a copy for our church library. I ordered it twice, got a work book the first time and the miniture the second time. Neither is what I
thought I would be receiving. However, I realize that one must read very
carefully before placing an order and I suppose I failed to do that.
Nevertheless, I am not particularly a happy camper with Amazon at this
point in time.

If You Want To Walk On Water, You Have To Get Out Of The Boat
Everyone needs to read this book! If you have any wonders about what to do next in your life, this book helps you see that you have to take a step out in faith to walk on the water!This would be a great graduation gift or just a great pick me up for someone who is "drifting" and not sure where to go next.

disappointed
I thought I was buying the real, normal-sized book. However, a small, 1 or 2-inch book arrived! I didn't see anywhere on the page where I bought the book that it wasn't the full-sized book.
