Sheer Off
Sheer Off continues the story of Ned Franks, the One-Armed Sailor as he strives to honor Christ and do good in the village of Colme. This book takes the reader through several of the many pitfalls the world, the flesh, and the devil lures us into—greed, intemperance, falsehood, and pride in its various manifestations, to name a few—and exhorts them to sheer off those treacherous, rocky shores and cling to Christ.
