Book Description
Any fisherman can attest to this undeniable truth: when it is just you, a fishing pole and the water, God's loving presence can feel closer to you more than anything else. Author and longtime angler Bill Rooney can confirm this truth from personal experience, feeling the peace of God while bobbing in the waterways of the United States and even Canada. He recalls several of his favorite fishing and camping memories, as well as those of friends and recognized authority figures, in his new book of short stories, Fishing for God (and vice-versa). The articles, published pieces from the author's years freelance writing for various magazines, combine fishing tips, stories and even scriptures that include one of the most appreciated fisherman, Simon Peter. The truth he hopes to reveal is that God calls us to become more like disciples of Jesus, embodying fishers of men and not just of fish. Rooney has been married for more than half a century to the same long-suffering Italian woman (who will undoubtedly be put up soon for canonization as a saint), and they have four grown children-Karen Lazo, Kevin, Brian, and Kristin Davidson-and five grandchildren. He and Rita live in the little town of Buena Vista in central Virginia where the Blue Ridge and the Appalachians bump into each other. On his daily morning hikes he praises God for faith, family, friends, and good health.

Fishing With My Fathers
Author: Paul D. Rath
Publisher: Wood Lake Publishing Inc.
ISBN: 1773434098
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
“Between fish, my father and I, two men who are as comfortable with each other’s voice as we are with each other’s silences, talk about the purpose of things, and how everything fits into the overall design.” This book is like no memoir you’ve ever read. Paul Rath writes with the soul of a poet, his prose alive with vibrant images and metaphors that capture the raw beauty and challenges of fishing for white fish in the frigid November air – “when the wind takes us into her cold mouth, and crunches us between her teeth. Her cold makes our eyes freeze – until they feel like stones, frozen in their sockets of mud ...” Yet this no mere fish story. As much as this book is about fishing, it is even more about relationships. Fishing with My Fathers explores the deep bonds that form between men of the earth, between men and the land and the water and the creatures that feed their spirits. Rath, the eldest son of a Lutheran pastor, pays homage to his father and tribute to the men who shaped and challenged him, even as he claimed his own space and place in their lineage. With wonderful humour and genuine sensitivity, he regales the reader with tales of his father, grandfather, great-grandfather, as well as of his mentors – of the men who taught him how to grow up, how to control his emotions, how to work, how to grow his spirit, how to love, as well as how to fish.
