If You Want to Walk on Water, You've Got to Get Out of the Boat By John Ortberg

Ortberg brings fresh look at Peter’s experience of walking on water. He offers refreshing spiritual insights into Matthew's account of Jesus challenging Peter to step out of the boat that will benefit any reader. The book is easy to read and makes several good points. I especially enjoyed his chapter on fear and his challenge to risk standing for the Lord.

On occasion I thought he was reaching a little and got the feeling that he was stretching to meet the publisher’s page requirements. He also needs to hold onto his day job and not try out for a standup comic act. Some of his attempts to tell a joke were forced at best and many of the jokes have been floating around the Internet for years.

I do however recommend you read his book. He makes several really good biblical points that would help any believer.
