First 25 Copies of "4 o'clock in the morning" by Capt. Ben Marler to be available on Friday, February 10
(Destin) "4 o'clock in the morning In A Sleepy Fishing Village Called Destin," will hit Amazon.com's virtual bookshelves and Capt. Ben's front door at the same time, on Friday, February 10.
This new book is expected to be popular with fans of "Old Destin Through the eyes of a Child" autobiography of one of Destin's most memorable captains, whose family helped settle the town. Old Destin's "Bennie" revealed his take on paradise as the only boy born there in 1938.
"4 o'clock in the morning" is a daily 2-minute devotional penned by the hand of a dedicated evangelist, which reveals both his heart for God and love for people, a combination that makes him "tick." He arises every morning at 4:00 a.m. to spend time with God.
"Like Instant Coffee for the Christian Soulwinner," the Publisher notes, for it "contains devotions for active Christians who want to hit the ground running the race set before them."
Capt. Ben has a vital way with words that inspires the reader to get immediately and actively involved in saving the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. He stirs the emotions and makes the Great Commission as simple as following Jesus, telling folks why you love Him.
His message "Jesus Loves You" and "If Jesus Came Today, Would You Be Ready" is a theme literally "set in concrete" of the dock's ramp where he was a professional deep sea fishing boat Captain. People would stop to read the words and still do.
Moving back to Destin in 1963, he helped his parents prosper in their 65 year family business, after earning a degree in business at Florida State University-- a decision that precluded him leaving to become a sales representative, perhaps with an archery sporting goods company.
Old customers and historians of Destin will appreciate the "inside story" of how things were accomplished. A 14 page fishing album that somehow survived Hurricane Opal, will entertain fishermen young and old.
Some may even remember the famous Fishing Lesson. His last boat, Emmanuel, was sold in 1999 to become a whale watching vessel in Virginia Beach, Virginia. So, there is no other way to experience going out with Capt. Ben besides his books.
You might even pick up some good marital advice with a quiz, The Oreo (R) Marriage, and 16 days of Marital Tips from 53 years experience with "the best wife in the world."
Capt. Ben hopes the book will inspire the churches everywhere to get busy saving the lost and not just stay comfortable inside the church houses. To this end, he also shares the actual recipes from home fellowships in the 1970s, and how to fry fish the "Ben Marler Way," topping it off with wife Joan's Baked Beans and Coleslaw, and "Florida Hushpuppies" by his late Aunt Willie Mae Taylor.
With that delicious Destin meal, this book, and a tall glass of Ben's Very Sweet Iced Tea, you can learn how to spirtually feed a multitude.
Jesus's first disciples were fishermen, that he taught how to become fishers of men.
"An Exciting Life Began at 4:00 A.M." reads the back cover. "Folks, go get your Breakfast, and Meet Me Back at the Dock No Later Than 6:30 a.m. And Thousands Did."
And now, you can, too.
