Don't Sink Your Own Ship

20 Spiritual Lessons You Don’t Have to Learn the Hard Way

About this book

Don't Sink Your Own Ship equips believers with simple truths for living fulfilling lives, because sometimes it's all too easy to sail into trouble unnecessarily. In this lighthearted guide, bestselling author and Bible teacher, Max Anders, gives powerfully practical insights that, if heeded, can keep you afloat in even the most treacherous of seas.

Generously punctuated by interesting and sometimes outrageous stories, Max walks readers through 20 spiritual lessons, providing biblical clarity on problems we all face. Each lesson includes application questions, scripture references, and recommended reading. The book's format and the teaching guideline included at the end make this an ideal small group resource.

Whether you read this book individually or as a group, you'll get a fresh grip on transforming truths, like:

  • The small stuff in life will build up to become big stuff, if you let it.
  • We become what we think about.
  • We are created for love. It's the principle of existence and its only end.
  • Success is being faithful to what God asks of us and leaving the results to Him
  • Unless we are willing to forgive, our wounds will never heal.

Truth seekers, new Christians, and established Christians alike will benefit from the simple reminders that this book provides. You don't have to learn your lessons the hard way.
