Learning To Walk On Water

"Insects walk on water, snakes slither, and fish swim. Animals move with astounding grace, speed, and versatility: how do they do it, and what can we learn from them? In How to Walk on Water and Climb up Walls, David Hu takes readers on an accessible, wondrous journey into the world of animal motion. From basement labs at MIT to the rain forests of Panama, Hu shows how animals have adapted and evolved to traverse their environments, taking advantage of physical laws with results that are startling and ingenious. In turn, the latest discoveries about animal mechanics are inspiring scientists to invent robots and devices that move with similar elegance and efficiency. Hu follows scientists as they investigate a multitude of animal movements, from the undulations of sandfish and the way that dogs shake off water in fractions of a second to the seemingly crash-resistant characteristics of insect flight. Not limiting his exploration to individual organisms, Hu describes the ways animals enact swarm intelligence, such as when army ants cooperate and link their bodies to create bridges that span ravines. He also looks at what scientists learn from nature's unexpected feats--such as snakes that fly, mosquitoes that survive rainstorms, and dead fish that swim upstream. As researchers better understand such issues as energy, flexibility, and water repellency in animal movement, they are applying this knowledge to the development of cutting-edge technology. Integrating biology, engineering, physics, and robotics, [this book] demystifies the remarkable mechanics behind animal locomotion"--Page 4 of cover.

Being limited in life is a helpless feeling. The mentality of our society today is limited in their finances, relationships, knowledge, and even in health. The enemy knows that if he can keep you limited, he will keep you from becoming a threat to his kingdom. What if you could be limitless? What if you were free to give when God said give or go when God said to go? It is not impossible. It will take faith and a new mentality to believe God can use you as his instrument. Jesus taught the importance of having faith and the benefits of having a limitless mentality. Faith got Peter out of the boat, but his limited mentality made him sink. None of us have arrived. Learning to Walk on Water is a journey that every Christian must take. If we desire to be used by God to the fullest, we need to step beyond the confines of a limited mentality and do as Peter did. He learned to walk on water!

If you want to walk on water and experience miracles, the first thing it s going to take is getting out of the boat! In this book, Andrew shares many of the faith principles he has learned from God's Word about walking in the miraculous. If you will receive these truths, you can walk on water too.
