Radical Discipleship for Water-Walking

The adventure of your life is only one step away. In this abridgement of his bestselling book, "If You Want to Walk on Water, You Have to Get Out of the Boat," John Ortberg invites you to do with God's help what you could never do on your own - step out of your comfort zone and onto the risky waters of faith. If you do, you'll find that Jesus is waiting to meet you in ways that will change you forever, deepening your character and your trust in God.

The experience is thrilling beyond belief, yet terrifying. It's everything you'd expect of someone worthy to be called Lord. The choice is yours to know him as only a water-walker can, aligning yourself with God's purpose for your life in the process.

Stepping out onto the water requires immense faith and courage. It means leaving the safety and familiarity of the boat, the comfort zone you've grown accustomed to. But it's in those moments of risk and vulnerability that you'll encounter the divine in ways you never thought possible.

Ortberg reminds us that faith is not about playing it safe. It's about stepping out, even when the water beneath your feet seems unstable and the winds threaten to push you back. It's about trusting that the one who called you out will also sustain you, even when the waves crash all around.

Throughout the book, Ortberg weaves together personal anecdotes, biblical insights, and practical wisdom to encourage readers to abandon their self-imposed limitations and embrace the incredible adventure God has in store. He challenges us to stop merely admiring Jesus from the shoreline and instead, to step out in faith, fully surrendering to His leading.

The life of a water-walker is not an easy one, but it is a life of profound transformation and unimaginable blessing. It's a life of miracles, where the impossible becomes possible, and where God's power is unleashed in ways that defy human understanding.

As you read this book, you'll be invited to consider the areas of your life where you've been playing it safe, the dreams you've been too afraid to pursue, the callings you've been reluctant to answer. Ortberg urges you to step out in faith, to take that one step that will launch you into the adventure of a lifetime.

The choice is yours. Will you stay in the boat, or will you walk on water? The adventure of your life is just one step away.
