RALEIGH, N.C. - ncarol.com -- "Hard Aground... Again," is a collection of over 32 humorous essays crafted to introduce the love and grace of God to those who think following Jesus sucks the air out of our sails and throws our fun overboard. This book offers a fresh perspective on how following Jesus is the adventure of a lifetime.

Jesus isn't a "stick in the mud." That's a channel marker. He's the one who made the wind and waves, the sand and sea, and all creation for our enjoyment.

Eddie Jones, a well-known boating columnist from the 80s and 90s - and today's Pirate Preacher in Moore Square Raleigh - uses relatable boating stories to draw parallels with life's challenges. He illustrates how figures like Noah, the Apostle Paul, and Moses faced their own navigational mishaps but still enjoyed the journey.

This book is a perfect way to introduce Jesus to those who might never pick up a Bible or step foot in a church. The lighthearted approach makes it accessible for those who find religion dull or restrictive and think that is Jesus. "Hard Aground... Again" shows that following Jesus is liberating, exciting, and yes at times dangerous, but never boring!

Jesus came to set us free: that includes freedom from feeling stuck. Let Jesus float your boat today.
