Ruth and Pat’s new book, “In A Boat In the Middle of A Lake,” came to me during a particular hard season in my life. Actually a hard season for millions of people because of the Covid 19 pandemic among other life issues affecting our world currently. When situations happen in life outside of our control, we can feel like we’re in a boat out in the middle of nowhere in a storm without a way to get back to shore. We can feel like we’re stranded out there all by ourselves and that this storm will last forever. Ruth and Pat experienced a storm in the form of Pat’s cancer diagnosis and these are just a few of the feelings that they experienced during their hard season. In the book, they share their journey, with all its ups and downs, heartaches and joys and in sharing their story, they give the reader helpful insights and tools to navigate through their own storms. And they point the reader to the ultimate anchor of hope, which is Jesus Christ who helped Pat and Ruth not only survive through their stormy season, but who also is there to help the rest of humanity through their life storms as well. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is dealing with life situations that is outside of their control. Between the pages of this book, they will find comfort, they will definitely find hope, and they will ultimately find themselves back on the shoreline, with a new perspective and a greater faith.
