Sailing Through Life On The High Seas

"Sailing Through Life on the High Seas" by Robert H. Dunham is a lively autobiography of a life filled with adventure, survival and faith. Starting in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and continuing to his service around the world with the Merchant Marines as an officer we are swept alongside Dunham through the streets of Barcelona, the archeology of Egypt, and the trading ports of Japan.

He tells of his life with rich prose, a pilot of oil tankers in dangerous waters, a battle with dangerous experiences like a near-fatal car crash, allergic reaction, stroke, and prostate cancer, and still clinging to a demanding Christian faith. Not a travelogue at all, the work remains the testimony of a disciplined, loving, God-reliant life.

Dunham provides a genuine treatise on family, including the 56 years that he spent with Janie, raising children and grandchildren, and instills timeless teachings of honesty, forgiveness, and determination. This is the right choice of the reader, in love with inspirational stories, adventure tales, and stories of spiritual transformation, and this book offers a critical look at the life lived in purpose and faith.
