Fish University

Beverly Carradine knew something of life’s storms. He suffered the loss of his beloved son, Guy, at nine years of age. His wife was only thirty-one when she died and his son, Reed, only lived to be in his thirties. Carradine, himself, learned lessons taught in the “University of Grace.”

Dr. Carradine uses the book of Jonah to illustrate some of life’s waves that engulf people. Some of these inundations may be the results of rebellion, as in the case of Jonah, but others are simply the results of living in a fallen world. Deserved or not, how we react to them, whether in repentance, grace or bitterness, is the essence of dependence upon God. Rich with Carradine’s humor and easy style, Fish University draws from the timeless troubles that befall everyone, whether they lived in the Nineteenth Century, or in the Twenty-first Century. 

FISH UNIVERSITY takes its name from one of the chapters, as the former name of the book was simply Jonah, one of the author’s Bible Character Series. Beverly Carradine was well-known for his devotional writings, and with short, to-the-point chapters, Fish University may easily be used to follow along with a chapter from the Bible.
