Look Inside: b'Sipping Saltwater'

“Our lives get more busy yet more empty. Steve gets this—he gets us. He describes what you feel and why you feel like that, and walks with you to a better way. And, somehow, he does it in a way that makes you feel heard, even befriended. Within two pages you will be drawn in by Steve’s honesty and how he seems to speak to you. Then you read the entire book—hope rising with each chapter. Since one chapter will be uniquely yours, you will double back, re-read that chapter, and act on that hope.” ED WELCH, Counselor and faculty member at the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF) “Steve grabs your attention from the very first sentence. He sheds unique insight into idolatry through vivid imagery and solid biblical instruction. He powerfully points you to the only One who can and will quench your thirst. I will be sharing this book with those I counsel— both professing Christians and those who profess no faith at all.” TIMOTHY LANE, President of the Institute for Pastoral Care and co-author of “How People Change” “The idea that we are constantly sipping saltwater is an extremely helpful image which is then carefully applied to our battle with sin. This book is beautifully honest, packed with stories, and ultimately full of hope in Christ.” JONTY ALLCOCK, Lead Pastor, The Globe Church, London, and author of “Lost,” “Fearless” and “Hero” “In Sipping Saltwater, Steve Hoppe draws on his vast experience as a pastor and counselor. He writes not as an aloof professional, but rather, as a fellow traveler—broken, flawed, and in search of full redemption. With clarity and directness, he weaves together the timeless truths of Scripture, real-life stories of people in the pews, and his own journey of moving from brokenness to wholeness.” MINDY MEIER, Author, speaker, and Associate Director of Greek InterVarsity Christian Fellowship “Steve Hoppe uses vivid imagery and powerful stories to explain a problem plaguing us all—idolatry. But he doesn’t stop there. He gets practical by digging into dozens of everyday idols and showing how Christ is better than them all.” GABE LYONS, President of Q Ideas and author of “Good Faith”
