Emphasis Preaching Journal

Ernest Hemingway's masterpiece, The Old Man and the Sea, is a soliloquy on the tenacity of the human spirit and the enterprise of faith. An old, infirm man, Santiago, his boat rickety and dilapidated, launches out into the ocean depths, armed with those tiny molecules of faith which sustain the frailest of men through the biggest of challenges. No fish is too large and no boat too small to realize his dreams. He will catch the big fish and mount his walls with it.
