Cruise Devotional

[CastawayChar]

While searching for a devotional book to take on my cruise in June I came across a cruise devotional. It's a 30 day devotional. 10 days before preparing for the cruise, 10 days while on cruise and 10 days after to adjust back to normal. It is great! It's a small paperback. Easy to put in your suitcase. The web site is "Every Breath, a Prayer: Devotions for Your Cruise Vacation."

This looks like a very good devotional - thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the site address, I'm going to get this for my DW and give it to her for her birthday coming up real soon. I won't tell anyone she is turing 50 if you don't!!!

Looks like a great book, think I too, will order it. I am thinking that I do not have to be on a cruise to see the beauty of our Creator's world. By the way Andy, be really sweet to your DW on this b-day. As someone who is also looking at the big 50, I can tell ya that it is not a fun number. lol. I am just teasing you, I can tell by reading your posts here, that you are a very kind hearted man, and am sure that you always treat your wife with the utmost respect. But take it from me, if she is at all like me, she is NOT looking forward to this birthday...although, I look forward to everyones b-day just so I can have birthday cake. It's my favorite.

How is this book different from any other devotional? How do you make a prayer book cruise-specific? I mean, I'm assuming it's not 30 days worth of, "Please don't let the boat sink / thank you for not sinking the boat. Amen" but I can't imagine what it could be!

Have you heard of the book "power of a praying wife " - It is a book dedicated to praying for your husband - Prayers I never thought to say, but glad I do - (keep him safe to/from work - keep him healthy - let his business prosper - etc)

I am sure this devotional is along the same lines - Prayers for a safe journey, thankful for God's creation, calm waters, healthy family, etc -

Andy, I am sure your wife will love this! What a thoughtful gift -

Thanks for the post. I will be cruising with 6 friends and we all wanted to take turns doing a daily devotional. This sounds wonderful.

Sounds like a great devotional. I'm not scheduled to go on a cruise this year but I know several people at work who are. I'll order an extra one just in case "someone takes me with them". They will make nice bon voyage gifts. Thanks for posting the info!

I just ordered two of the Cruise Devotionals this morning from Amazon! We will be cruising on the March 13th Western. We just got back from the January 10th Eastern Cruise. We were visiting our daughter who is in the main stage shows.

I got my book and just had to start reading it! It really captures what I'm thinking about and doing as far as preparations for cruising and relates it to my every day walk with God! I want to sneak ahead to the "Time To Cruise: section, but think I'll try to save that for when I'm on the ship. Some titles of pages are "Sound the Horn" "Harbor Captain" and "The Storm". I'll definately let you all know what I think about it when I get back from my cruise!!!!!

I just checked Amazon's website and my DW's Devotional book will be delivered Wedesday or Thursday. I hope I can catch the delivery truck without my DW having any knowledge of the delivery. Her birthday is not for another five weeks.

Andy - tell her it's something that Tom asked you to order for me! Then she won't bother it!!! But knowing Hazel........it will probably be Angelina who opens it!!!

Anytime we can meditate that there is a Higher Power who is in control, we become better people and by becoming a better person we make the world a better place.

God first!

Great suggestion!

The NIV uses the word "boat" 51 times so I am sure the devotions are much more than "Please God don't let the boat sink"!! But instead, a look into the role that water and boats plays in the word of God!
