Hello friends,

I have been busy over the last year working on a project important to me, and now, I get to share it with you. The Sea Is So Wide, my latest book (and daily devotional) is now available wherever you buy books! I’ll quote the “back matter,” as it’s called in the publishing world, from the book jacket:

Syndicated columnist and writer Ronnie McBrayer returns with a second book of devotionals, following the success of his popular daily reader, “May the Road Rise to Meet You.” With the publication of “The Sea Is So Wide,” Ronnie continues with his award-winning style of honest and engaging reflection. McBrayer challenges all who take up this book to resist the spirit of the age with its greed, violence, fear mongering, and dehumanizing abuses. In its place, he plots a life-saving route through these stormy seas with a hopeful resiliency, daring all to live lives of justice, mercy, and humility.

Barnes and Noble, Books-A-Million, Bookshop, and that other gargantuan bookseller have the book available for order. You can also check with your local bookstore or purchase directly from the distributer (Ingram) by clicking this link. All proceeds benefit that other project important to me, The Rusty Goat Coast Farm and Retreat. Thank you in advance for purchasing, sharing, and getting the word out. I’ll leave you with the Breton Fisherman’s Prayer, the inspiration for the title of this book:

Dear God, be good to me: For the sea is so wide, and my boat is so small.
The winds are so strong, and my sail so slight.
This world is so fierce, and I am so frail.
