Devoted to Fishing

For fishermen and fishers of men. "Follow me," Jesus instructed Simon and Andrew, "and I will make you fishers of men." (Matthew 4: 19) I know that God has been teaching me all these years, using the outdoors as his slate. While I was fishing, I was also being taught patience and happiness, courage and friendship and inspiration, joy and humility, understanding and acceptance... I would like to share with you, in this little book, some of the life lessons I learned from God on creek banks. Even when I didn't know I was learning them. Perhaps, like Simon and Andrew, I might, through it, also become a fisher of men. -Charles W. Sasser
