This was a 4 lesson series that we used for our Wednesday Night Life Class.  These notes are what I taught from and, as such, contain quoted material, without credit given. This material comes  from 2 source books.  First of all, the true story that this series revolves around comes from this book:

Tougias, Michael J. -- The Finest Hours: The True Story of the U.S. Coast Guard's Most Daring Sea Rescue. Scribner.

Secondly, much of the discipleship / outreach material comes from Stan Gleason's new book, which I highly recommend:

Gleason, Stan O. -- Follow to Lead: The Journey of a Disciple Maker (Kindle Locations 542-544). Word Aflame Press.
