The north-east of Scotland not only has a tradition of fishing but also of a ready response to the preaching of salvation through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. The hazardous nature of fishing in the stormy waters of the North Sea combined with deep piety produced men who not only walked but sailed with God. The author of this book is able to write from his own experience both as a former fisherman and as a man deeply committed to his Saviour. The book is chiefly about his father, William Mair, from when, in his teens, he not only started on his lifelong career fishing but also as a believer in Christ, until his eventual homecall. Fortunately, he kept a diary, which the author has mined to great effect. The author also deals with the spiritual history of that part of Scotland, especially the revivals which periodically occurred and which had such an impact on the people there.
