"Sticking to the Raft" is quite another sort of life. Instead of depending on yourself, you cast your care on Christ. Though you stick to the Raft, it is He who holds you safe.

A clear message of salvation is this little book.

Read to my children at lunch.

I really enjoy these old, comforting stories—ones that stir the emotions, strengthen faith, and call forth courage. They are simple and engaging, yet often profound and deeply God-glorifying, and this book is no exception.

Stick to the Raft is a beautiful reminder to cling to the Raft (Christ) through loss—trusting that HE will care for us; through pain—so long as HIS name is glorified; and even through seasons of fun and recreation—where we are still called to remain steady, even as we enjoy God’s good gifts.

Whether on sunny days when the waters are calm, or stormy days when they are treacherous, may we stick to the Raft—and lovingly help pull others aboard as well.

I especially was thankful for the ongoing reminder that even though we are called to live for Christ, that the work is done by Him. May we persevere, while He preserves.

It was fun to read this book again. This time I read it with my youngest brother, Titus. He enjoyed reading it too. It was spiritually encouraging and challenging. A great reminder to cling to Christ and witness of his Salvation to the lost.
