Story Behind the Book“This book became a reality thanks to these four things: a recurring image in my fresh-from-sleep thoughts about a boy in a bell tower, extensive Bible study on Jesus’ prayers, the publisher’s request for a youth book focusing on Jesus and prayer; and then a friend’s off-hand mention of the phrase, ‘What would Jesus pray?’” —Mack Thomas

Will It Float? is a journey through the story of Noah and the Ark to glean an understanding of how we need to be the ark of the church. Through prism implications and plank applications, the reader is able to discover the spiritual ideas in the biblical flood narrative and then make practical applications in the building of the church. Through the efforts of the one God called and the journey that he was sent on, we see how God can move His people for His glory. The realization then becomes that we live in the full spectrum of God's righteousness and love.
