As the official counterculture sport of the 1960s, surfing was not just a sport but a lifestyle, one long, sun-drenched beach party with endless waves and music, as well as an unapologetically masculine culture. This notion has since been disproved by generations of amazing female surfers who have made an indelible mark on the sport. Surfing: Women of the Waves highlights some of these extraordinary women of surfing, from Linda Benson and Joyce Hoffman in the 1950s and 1960s to Layne Beachley, Sofia Mulanovich, Bethany Hamilton, and the great Lisa Andersen, four-time women's world champion. Today, women of all ages and skill levels have taken their place among the waves-longboarders, shortboarders, goofyfooters, hotdoggers, young girls, and surfer moms-these are the women of the waves!

"Let's Make a Baby Together." Angel McCabe's biological clock was ringing—loud. But there was no one else on the otherwise uninhabited Florida island to hear it. With no husband in sight, she had no choice but to run a personal ad. Once wedded—and pregnant—Angel would send the man packing. Sexy sailor Stewart Adams wanted to ensure his immortality and his name before disappearing into the South Seas, but he didn't plan on being around long enough to become a domestic dad. Angel sounded like the ideal wife for him. Theirs would have been the perfect marriage of convenience—if it weren't for one small thing….

Surfanthood explores a simple analogy expanding the experiences of early ministry. The analogy goes like this: The waves are God’s activity in the world. The surfer is us. The board is our activity/ministry/service. At best our activities, and boards, join with God’s activity, the waves, to create something joyful, wondrous, and exciting. We submit to the wave and experience something beautiful. At worst we can wrestle and struggle, becoming increasingly tired, frustrated, and pained by what is happening until eventually the inevitable occurs; we get really hurt or we get out. A new possibility centers on five postures that servants adopt: They are non-professional, non-commercial, non-prescriptive, non-evangelical, and non-authoritative. Each chapter begins with a reality of surfing that finds a parallel in ministry. This reality gives a lens to explore an episode within Luke’s Gospel which, as a complete Gospel, explores the question “How do I mature in service?” and then reflects on where we see the postures of surfanthood.
