It reminds me of one of my all time favorite books written by John Ortberg. The book is &#8220;<strong>If You Want to Walk on Water, You&#8217;ve Got to Get Out of the Boat<\/strong>&#8220;. It speaks to issues of how we face fear and can experience the power of God as we trust Him to do things beyond what we could imagine. I Highly recommend this book!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3CoIDEQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Amazon.com<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0 <a
