“Breakfast on the Beach is a wellspring of inspiration.  Read a chapter a day for your soul’s sake.”

Dr. James Flamming, pastor
First Baptist Church

            “Burdened by recent events in my family, I took this book with me to the shores of the Andaman Sea off the coast of Thailand.  I let the poetic words wash over my hurting heart.  It renewed my love for the glory of God’s creation.  It supplied images for what God is doing in my life through both joy and suffering.  I know I will never look at the ocean again in just the same way again. 

            Even if you don’t have an ocean nearby, you will hear the crash of the waves and feel the sand between your toes when you read these pages.  Hopefully, like me you will leave the beach with your burdens lighter and your heart filled with gladness at the graciousness and mercy of God.”

            “Breakfast on the Beach combines solid pastoral compassion with the ancient practice of guided spiritual reflection.  The spiritual direction of this book offers a path of growth and personal discernment sorely needed in our Christian journey.  At last, vacations can be what our heavenly Father intends for believers.  The talents of Mark Jordan’s pen combined with the passion of his heart bond together to provide an easy handle on growing in knowledge of ourselves and in deeper love of God.  Thanks for this exciting new source of spiritual growth.”

            “Every God-seeker has observed the power of spiritual retreat.  Likewise, it seems that when we are at the beach our spiritual senses are heightened.  In the well written Breakfast on the Beach, Mark Jordan shows us why: enjoying the handiwork of God is simply a call to seek the face of God.  This book calls us to make our beach week a time of holy intention; to settle in the sand and let the Spirit of God be just as enthralling as the work of God.  Don’t go to the beach without this book!”

Dr. Steven Smith, professor of preaching,
Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

            “If you feel like you need a week away, some quiet time at the beach, then you need to read Breakfast on the Beach.  It provides rest for the soul, delight to the heart, and peace in the chaos.  Let me encourage you to relax, take some time and have breakfast on the beach with Mark Jordan.  It may be the best breakfast that you’ve ever had.”

            “Mark has written a book that will be enjoyable whether you are at the beach or just wishing you were.  It takes simple observations from the beachfront and teaches profound spiritual truths.  It is creative and profound.  I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.”
