Walking on water, as defined here by Caroline Barnett, is not just a story in the Bible or a perceived impossibility. It's a way to live your life with passion and purpose. It does take risk and faith - but the rewards far outweigh everything else.
Broken into three sections, "Discovering", "Conquering", and "Doing", Caroline shares (through personal stories, Bible verses, and testimonials from other leaders and volunteers at the Dream Center) different ways that walking on water has been used in their lives and how it has always brought about incredible, miraculous change. She gives example after example, both large and small, of ideas that we can begin right now to fight social injustices and impact the world around us. We simply need to be willing, and look for opportunities to act.
I am familiar with the Dream Center and it's mission, and read "The Cause Within You" by Caroline's husband, Matthew Barnett (also recommended). I identify with their passion and admire them tremendously. This book was meaningful as well; I especially liked the chapter "What's Your Trigger?" where Caroline asks, "What injustice grips your heart the most....When you are triggered by a particular injustice, your compassion doesn't end with a few shed tears. It leads to action." If you have ever wondered, Is it possible to live in such a way that I regularly impact people for eternity? If there is, what could I do about it?, this is an excellent book to help you figure it out.
