At Sea with God by Margaret Silf (DLT ISBN 023252438-6895)
Having appreciated Margaret’s previous books, (Landmarks, Taste and See, Wayfaring, Sacred Spaces - Stations on a Celtic Way and A Miller’s Tale) my eyes were drawn to the title of her latest work especially as I was within days of taking a sailing holiday. The purchase and subsequent read proved to be worthwhile. The book was a good companion during the hours crossing the English Channel and sailing the Normandy Coast.
One does not have to be conversant with the sea or nautical terminology to appreciate this book. The images of seafaring that Margaret takes as a motif for our faith journey are accessible to all readers. We are invited through the book to take an adventure that leaves the securities and safety of the known and familiar to venture out across unchartered waters and their associated uncertainties, risks and challenges as we seek our destination.
As with Margaret’s other writings, her awareness of the realities of life’s inner journey makes the book a stimulating and helpful tool on our own life of faith.
