Eighteen insightful chapters present biblical counsel interwoven with candid, thought-provoking illustrations from author Chris Schimel's forty years of ministry.

Readers will begin to examine their own lives and churches and learn to develop vital behaviors that both attract and radiate God's love.

Water Bodies reminds us that water isn't a resource to manage or a commodity to sell. Rather, it's a natural force--as beguiling as it is seductive--whose will supersedes our own. As the climate crisis simultaneously pinches water supplies and exacerbates flooding, some of the West's most thoughtful journalists, poets, and writers remind us that water isn't a natural resource to manage or a commodity to sell--nor do humans live out their lives at the scale of interstate river compacts, interbasin transfers, or 30-year projections. Rather, water is a force that's beguiling and seductive--and a creature whose knowledge and will supersedes our own. This diverse group of contributors shares intimate stories of rivers and snow patches, swimming holes and ephemeral streams. They also explore how waters shape our landscapes and our consciousness as they consider what becomes endangered when we lose sight of the power of water.
