Evocative poetry that stirs both soul and heart, Tales of the Captain by Christopher Hostettler is as brilliant visually, with its rich imagery and vibrant colors, as it is verbally, with its powerful rhythm and tantalizing language. The story’s rhythmic pulse subtly beats with Christian themes, creating a captivating narrative that sparks imaginative interpretations; the reader can almost feel the faith resonating in the words.

The beautiful illustrations, filled with vivid colors and detailed ships, bring the captain’s tale to life, inviting every reader to become a shipmate on his vessel, feeling the spray of the ocean and the creak of the ship. Although the author champions individual readings and celebrates poetry’s subjective nature, a thorough commentary is included that adds layers of meaning and expands upon the spiritual themes. Scripture is beautifully sprinkled throughout the commentary section, making this a read worthy of deep consideration.

With a unique divinely anointed writing style, Hostettler’s work is a treasure for every personal library. This book is one you will want to read more than once.
