Fishing for God--and vice versa

the long version

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.
