Is your WWJD bracelet leaving a rash? Does the Prayer to Jabez just not do it for you anymore. Have you been waiting for that next big Christian fad to come along while your are waiting to be raptured? Then this is the book for you. The Porpoise Driven Life uses one of God’s amazing mammals to help you get your life going again. You might scoff and think that this is just more shallow theology to market, but no this approach is based on God’s Word in the Bible!<\/p>\n
“But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or the plants of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you.<\/i> —Job 12:7<\/b><\/p>\n
Yes fish can teach you. It is no coincidence that the early Christians used the sign of the fish. The Ichthus was more than just a word derived from the first letters of a Greek phrase about the Messiah. There was the great miracle of the loaves and fishes and Jesus after the resurrection ate fish. Jesus also called the Disciples to be fishers of men. Again and again fish shows up as an important topic. And what better fish to teach us than a fellow mammal.<\/p>\n
This books is subdivided into chapters to help you to develop your own porpoise driven strategy. And includes such wonderful insights as:<\/p>\n
Coming up for air<\/u>:
\nIn the Christian life we can’t just go swimming around endlessly in circles in school or out of school. We need time to think about and praise God. Thus we must come up for air. A porpoise who does not come up for air slowly suffocates and sinks to the bottom<\/p>\n
Avoiding sin and meditation on the three sided fin.<\/u>
\nA porpoise’s fin is triangular in shape unlike the more rounded find of a dolphin. Thinking about this fin we can reflect on the Trinity. Often times the fin is above water to show us that we must be in the world but not part of it.<\/p>\n
Swimming in groups<\/u>
\nLike Dall’s Porpoises we should swim in groups and not try to make it on our own. In the Christian life we should help and encourage each other on the way. By ourselves we frequently get lost and eaten by other predators.<\/p>\n
These and many other principles can be elicited by studying the life of the porpoise, so that you can have a purposeful life!<\/p>\n
One type of porpoise has no dorsal fin, but since this porpoise was born without original fin we can use them as a parallel for Christ.<\/p>\n
What are the results<\/b>?<\/p>\n
In churches that have adopted the porpoise driven life have increased their congregations by up to 70%.<\/p>\n
So don’t delay and buy now!<\/p>\n
