Product ReviewsIf You Want to Walk on Water, You've Got to Get Out of the Boat by John Ortberg (2001, Hardcover)

Edifying & challenging, but humorous. EXCELLENT READ!

Ortberg is my new favorite contemporary Christian author. This book will challenge you to make decisive steps ~ to make a difference for Christ. He's an easy read, with an engaging style, and is laugh-out-loud funny at times. Once I'd read my first Ortberg book (Love Beyond Reason), I had to have another (this one), then another. Some of the best Christian instruction and most delightful reading I've run into for some time. I recommend him highly and this book specifically. You'll find yourself buying Ortberg for your friends. I know I did!Read full review...

One of my all-time favorites

This book was extremely well-written and entertaining. More importantly, it was thought-provoking and challenging. I have found my perspective and perceptions changed by considering the many truths in this book, and it has changed the way I deal with many things I would have shied away from before. I highly recommend it.Read full review...

A Must Read for Everyone!

This book is an incredibly insightful journey into our desire to "Live life to it's fullest" and making a difference in our own world. I highly recommend it and believe it can change your way of thinking and living. John Ortberg is a great communicator and the book is easy reading, with humor and honesty. It's not a book that talks down to you, but one that is easily related to. I've bought several copies to give to friends and family...Read full review...
