This is the amazing story of Rancho Sordo Mudo, a free home and school for deaf children in Mexico. Founded in 1969 by Ed and Margaret Everett, the Ranch has challenged and changed thousands of lives--including the Everetts'! Through fire and restoration, triumph and devastation, the family has never lost faith in God's divine plan. As a result, their unwavering persistence and devotion transformed 500 acres of unoccupied land into a blessed ministry that has provided hope and a future for deaf children (and people of all ages--hopefully even you!) for nearly forty years.

Now is the time... To do whatever it is you've been too afraid or weak to do. To step into a greater position of authority and blessing. To be obedient to the Lord and fulfill your purpose. To witness to the lost and hopeless world around you. To walk in power and abide in the presence of the Lord. To stop being lukewarm in your relationship with Christ. To realize the influence you have on others. To be the one who chooses to rise up and speak out.

If you have ever heard yourself say, "Surely there is more to life than this," rest assured, you are not alone. Getting caught up in the day-to-day routine, it can be easy to feel as though you have nothing more to give, and yet there is so much you want to do to impact the world. Good news! For those who are willing to get out of the proverbial boat and trust in God's ability to do miracles, there is more, so much more! In Willing to Walk on Water, Caroline Barnett helps you identify what you were created to do--unveiling your passions, gifts, and callings--and provides practical ways of integrating that purpose into your daily life. Drawing on real life experiences, Caroline points out two things that will be required: willingness and availability. Are you willing to trust God to do the impossible through you? Will you make yourself available to His leading? If so, get ready--you are about to walk on water!

Once you become a Christian you also become a part of a spiritual warfare and you must step out on faith. There will be some growing pains, but you can live the good life as you're shaped in the potter's hands. I've taken a walk on the dark side only to ask, "where is peace?" But thank God for the Lamb and the family love, reminding me to protect the fruit, while casting down imaginations and laying aside the besetting sin in my life. Jesus is now my Savior and his grace is sufficient for me. It's not about my way during times of temptation, but rather my way to escape as provided by God. He's my rock and my strength! At the end of the day I say an evening prayer, being reminded to put on the Whole armour of God!
