In \u003ci\u003eSwashbuckling Faith\u003c\/i\u003e, author and former pastor Tim Wesemann helps you find surprising doorways to God's truth in the scenes and dialogue of the \u003ci\u003ePirates of the Caribbean\u003c\/i\u003e movie series. Created merely to entertain, these movies find Captain Jack Sparrow and his cohorts unintentionally leaving behind traces of truth ready to be explored and expanded in light of the Bible. Wesemann springboards from these glimpses to explore scriptural lessons on faith, prayer, contentment, spiritual warfare, forgiveness, hope, and much more. When your biblical perception starts finding treasures of truth in popular culture and everyday occurrences, you'll set sail for the adventure of a lifetime! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Captain\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e Jack Sparrow, if you please, sir.\" \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCaptain Jack Sparrow (that's Johnny Depp, to you lovers of cinema) is the charming pirate in the popular \u003ci\u003ePirates of the Caribbean\u003c\/i\u003e movies that buried Hollywood in gold.

While \"swashbuckler\" may not appear on his resume, he loves exploring for biblical treasure and often discovers it where you might least expect it--including a secular movie with pirates who pillage, plunder, and pilfer. Even scenes and dialogue from \u003ci\u003ePirates of the Caribbean\u003c\/i\u003e served to help grow his faith in God. While the movie is a favorite in the Wesemann household, Tim also draws from past experiences as a pastor and his present insights as a fulltime Christian author and speaker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Wesemann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1590527046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590527047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Multnomah Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.26h x 5.84w x 0.58d","brand":"Tim Wesemann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153763643647,"sku":"9781590527047","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f04aa5c8-fa3c-4468-8657-f2690dd7fb0e.jpg?v=1770785668","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/swashbuckling-faith-tim-wesemann-9781590527047","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
