How to Survive a Shipwreck

Christian Living

“Gritty and transcendent. How to Survive a Shipwreck isn’t really any kind of how-to book. Rather, Jonathan Martin takes us on a stunning and stark voyage of his own soul’s deep dive and near drowning. You won’t reach for any well-fixed, handy life preservers here—Martin doesn’t throw us any. There are plenty of “storm” books out there, swollen with platitudes and simple strategies for recovery. These pages are dripping instead with ache and beauty. A harrowing hope. His writing is mesmeric and will fill your lungs enough to ascend and take that first big breath at the water’s surface. The breath you thought you might never take again.”
