Knee Deep and Rising: Stories of Life's Shifting Currents

By Bob Walkup

Knee Deep and Rising is a tribute to the lovable, sometimes unpredictable, characters that Bob met all over the world. A black maid hugs him close. A hot garage almost cooks two lovers. The girl next door puts him in an un-lockable love hold that lasts a lifetime. Secret Abuse reveals the adolescent story of a shocking event. An early morning trip with a lobster fisherman has an unusual catch in it. In Pabst Blue Ribbon youll discover Bobs absorbing love of baseball. Little River Springs carries us on 90 mile canoe trips down the Suwannee River. Stormy Sail To Nassau takes us on a harrowing voyage that almost ended the lives of all 19 on board a 52 foot ketch when it narrowly misses crashing into a cruise ship in a raging storm. Stories of Africa and Asia remind us that adventure was second nature to Bob. This book of true stories includes the highs and lows of being the pastor in three churches in Florida and North Carolina. Bobs honesty is also revealed in The Waters Of My Mental Illness as he describes his gratitude for the love and support of those who cared most for him during his 12 year recovery from a life changing bipolar disorder. Bob credits NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, as a key player for his good health today.
