Thanks for sending this -- about 15-20 years ago, I read a book with that title. I wonder if it was by this same person. See you soon, Joyce On Wed, Nov 2, 2016 at 10:56 AM, Beret Griffith via OE < oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:

Methodist Bishop Emerson Stephen Colaw had a knack for taking a familiar Bible story and reframing it in a way that challenged and inspired listeners.

In 1961, he was appointed to Hyde Park Community United Methodist Church in Cincinnati, where he remained until he was appointed bishop in 1980.

In one sermon titled “If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat,” Colaw recounted the story of the apostle Peter walking on water toward Jesus and said that, like Peter, Christians must take risks to live out their faith.
