The Swimmer and other stories of life

by Mark Worthing (Editor), Pete Court (Editor), James Cooper (Editor)

The Swimmer is the fifth installment of the Stories of Life series. In it, people from around the world share their extraordinary stories of faith and life. Some tales are humorous, others are entertaining and upbeat. But not all are happy stories. Many writers describe how they were found by a loving God in the midst of doubts and great suffering, and the circumstances don't always get easier. But the message still comes through loud and clear that God is faithful, near and active in the lives of ordinary people. A poignant tale about a swimmer, which points to the extraordinary beauty and vitality of the human spirit, is this year's title story. In all of these stories we discover that there is something extraordinary to be seen when God works in the lives of ordinary people.
