For fishermen and fishers of men. Follow me, Jesus instructed Simon and Andrew, and I will make you fishers of men. (Matthew 4: 19) I know that God has been teaching me all these years, using the outdoors as his slate. While I was fishing, I was also being taught patience and happiness, courage and friendship and inspiration, joy and humility, understanding and acceptance... I would like to share with you, in this little book, some of the life lessons I learned from God on creek banks. Even when I didn't know I was learning them. Perhaps, like Simon and Andrew, I might, through it, also become a fisher of men. -Charles W. Sasser
