Purple Fish: A Heart for Sharing Jesus

By: Mark O. Wilson

Narrated by: Claton Butcher

The ancient merchants of Tyre sailed the high seas and plumbed their depths in search of a rare shellfish, valued for its rich, purple dye. The Greek word kalchaino, to ponder, literally means in search of the purple fish.

Like the search for the purple fish, Jesus goes to remarkable lengths in seeking after his most valued treasure lost, broken, hurting, oppressed people. He invites us on a grand adventure to help him connect with these purple fish too.

In this inspiring, practical book, Mark O. Wilson offers a fresh, new approach for sharing Christ with others, especially for those who feel inadequate and intimidated by witnessing. Purple Fish shows how it can be a delightful adventure of faith, filling your own soul in the process.

Through amazing and often humorous stories as well as many practical suggestions Wilson encourages the reader to rethink what it means to bring lost people to Jesus. It will leave readers saying, I haven t thought of it that way before. I can do that!

Thought provoking

I felt this book started out with a lot of great illustrations. if you get be on some of the churchy words, you can see the love and compassion. I was grateful for those illustrations and he second half of the book is the more practical application.

Go Fish!!

Beautiful! What a beautiful fish story!! We are all treasure to our Heavenly Father. Amen

A must read for the Christian church

This book is very insightful and educational to advancing the Gospel of salvation to our communities.

It's in the details

I enjoyed the stories but wished there might have been a little more direct input regarding the subject matter. One situation that I found a little disturbing is that in the stories there was an incident where God's name is used as an expletive. Considering this book was to cover the subject matter of sharing the gospel I found it a little strange and perhaps a little disturbing. Overall the stories and performance were entertaining but a little less informative then I was hoping.

Just Listen

Great perspective on uncovering and understanding God's heart towards people.
In His eyes each one of us is a Purple Fish.
