Critics Review
“What a wonderful book it is! Pure Joy.” –Walter Cronkite
Bode uses his great love of sailing as a metaphor for the tides of life… Determinedly inspirational, this book will appeal to admirers of Robert Fulghum. Publisher’s Weekly Bode is adept at pulling messages out of ordinary experiences. The images he creates are simple and clear, and so are the lessons he derives from them. Kirkus Reviews If you feel lost on this great sea of life, this book is a compass. Its powerful words will carry you like a gentle breeze toward companionship, toward love, toward the deepest self you are called to be. It will ultimately lead you home. – Regina Brett, Author Of God Never Blinks: 50 Lessons For Life’s Little Detours
