Steven Faulkner and his 16-year-old son Justin are paddling and portaging their way along the 1000-mile, 1673, Mississippi discovery route of French explorers Marquette and Joliet. Tired, hungry, lost, lonely, fogbound, canoe-wrecked, unable to make their way in the darkness, they are having an excellent time—paddling 300 miles along Lake Michigan’s shore to Green Bay, Wisconsin, then 300 miles up the storm-flooded Fox River, down the Wisconsin River, then turning south for 400 miles down the mighty Mississippi to St. Louis. Waterwalk is a triple journey: a journey into the heart of this continent 300 years ago—as depicted in Marquette’s own journal (a translation of which Faulkner found in the basement of a University of Kansas library), a modern exploration of the quiet waterways that weave their way through busy, rush-around America, and a voyage through the heart of a father-son relationship. “Something in us,” says Faulkner, “longs to go the way of the river, to lie down on those silken currents and swing away from the bank and move along mile after mile. There’s something there that’s wild and strong and asleep in mystery . . .And all the while, rivers spoke to us in unfamiliar languages, the winds warned us of unheeded perils, statues came alive and shared their stories, and a father and son tried to learn the language of friendship and interdependence."

Have you ever thought, “I can’t sit around and watch this horrible thing happen?” Did you get up, go out, and try to make a difference? This is the true tale of one family’s leap of faith to pursue God’s calling and walk across America, in order to bring attention to the global clean water crisis. When the Hinman family discovered that children as young as four are walking long distances each day to fetch water that can be dirty and dangerous, they set off on this hilarious journey in the hopes of changing the future of some of the water walkers across the globe. Along the way, they encountered a nation’s worth of generous individuals as they endured the hardships of living out of their SUV, the elements, and sacrificial living. Join the Hinmans in this walk to discover what it means to be patriotic, experience God’s enduring love and provision, and learn about the difference one person can make in the lives of others. The author of this book has pledged all personal royalties to benefit the clean water crisis. For more information, please visit waterwalkamerica.com

It wasn't just fate or luck that Peter walked on the water while the other apostles stayed in the boat, but why do some people walk in miracles and others don't? A fatalistic philosophy will tell you that miracles only happen if God wills them but believing that will really kill your faith! If you want to walk on water and experience miracles, the first thing it s going to take is getting out of the boat! In this book, Andrew shares many of the faith principles he has learned from God's Word about walking in the miraculous. If you will receive these truths, you can walk on water too.
