To appreciate this book readers must grasp the symbolism of its title and front page depicting the author's life story, sometimes in rough seas. At three/four years old he was strongly aware of a call into the Christian ministry, inspiration for a long, fruitful life - growing up and helping on their South African farm, commuting to grammar school on horseback - together enough miles to ride three times from New York to California; struggling financially to become a clergyman.

To appreciate this book readers must grasp the symbolism of its title and front page depicting the author's life story, sometimes in rough seas. At three/four years old he was strongly aware of a call into the Christian ministry, inspiration for a long, fruitful life - growing up and helping on their South African farm, commuting to grammar school on horseback - together enough miles to ride three times from New York to California; struggling financially to become a clergyman. His autobiography is interspersed with short unbelieveable biographies of several classmates and what life was like. Read "The Sturdy Warrior" (Chapter V) and "Albert Schweitzer of the Bush Veld" Chapter X. With several appropriate degrees he migrated to Princeton Theological Seminary, United States of America, and became a learned professor. But then the delicate call that had driven him since a small boy was smashed beyond repair. Versility enabled him to commute to Wall Street for a new career, finding that nobody can smash a genuine call to those designated to belong to God's universal Kingdom. Symbolic pulpits and lecturns are hidden everywhere. He sought, find, and applied them with the eagerness of the Roman saying age quod agis - "do what you are doing." How did it go? Please find the sequel to this book FAITH, HOPE, AND DETERMINATION and read it.
