About this title

Synopsis

A thoughtful fishing and travel memoir that blends scripture, memory, and historical drama.

In I Go a-Fishing, the author threads quiet nights on boats with big questions about life, faith, and the stories we tell about the past. It moves from the Galilean search for fish to vivid scenes along the Nile, sharing reflections on memory, aging, and what it means to be a traveler who listens as well as speaks.

• Experience a fisherman's night on the Sea of Galilee and the moment the Master’s question arrives across the water.
• Meet Hassanein, a Nubian pilot, and hear how personal history and distant places shape a present voyage.
• Wander through desert cities and ancient ruins, then return to memory as a compass for meaning and belonging.
• Relate fishing’s pull to life’s larger quests, from old friendships to the enduring longing for home.

Ideal for readers who enjoy reflective travel writing and faith-informed memoirs that fuse landscape with inner dialogue.
