Description - Lessons from the Voyage of Life by Robert Cox

Lessons from the Voyage of Life seeks to demonstrate how Acts Chapter 27: 6-44 allegorically represents life and the Christian experience. Few metaphors could be more apt than that of a ship at sea during a storm, especially when it is taken to signify the uncertainties of Christian life. Paul the Apostle is the hero of this particular episode. Whilst travelling by ship to Italy under armed guard, the vessel encountered sudden storms caused by the notorious hurricane known as Euroclydon.Though Paul delivered God's warning that the ship must not leave the Bay of the Fair Havens, the crew ignored him and continued their journey. When they tried to weigh anchor, they were unable to keep the ship on an even keel and they lost their cargo and ship's tackling. There seemed to be no hope of salvation but, as the rest of the episode proves, faith in God's word alone guarantees salvation. Lessons from the Voyage of Life explores the ways in which we are able to relate the events of the voyage to our own lives and it is an informative and useful resource to read in times of need.
