Chaplain Fayard shares, “Seventy-one percent of the earth’s surface is covered by water and 91 percent of the earth’s water is in the oceans of the world.

“Five hundred years ago, 90 percent of everything people needed was delivered by ship. That figure has not changed. The maritime shipping industry is still delivering the bulk of our daily necessities, such as food, automobiles, clothing, etc.

“As a port chaplain, I have met scores of men and women who come to our ports from every corner of the earth. They are the driving force of the world’s economy. These mariners share their stories with me, and I in turn share the good news of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection with them. The message of the gospel is the greatest story ever told.

“The maritime minutes shared in this book are gleaned from my personnel experience as the son of a shipbuilder and the grandson of a commercial fisherman, as well as from studying the lives seafarers from ancient times to the present.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Chaplain Cecil Fayard’s new book will encourage the spirit as readers take time to reflect, pray, and give thanks.

Chaplain Fayard draws from a deep faith and a lasting connection with God’s creation to present an exciting and inspiring read.
