About this ebook
Could this be a spiritual picture of us: the people who are already saved doing nothing about the dying people all around us? By God's grace we are in the Jesus lifeboat, saved and headed for heaven. All around usâ where we work, where we live, where we shop or go to schoolâ are people who will die spiritually unless someone rescues them.
In a sense, God has placed us close to these spiritually lost and dying people so we might man the lifeboats that give them hope of being rescued. Will we turn our lifeboats around? Will we take the risks to give them a chance to liveâ forever?
Rescuing the spiritually dying is life or death. We have nothing more urgent, more significant to do than to help the people we know into the lifeboat before they slip away forever. Jesus is summoning you today to join Him in the rescue mission for which He died.

Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
Proverbs 24:11
Titanic. It was a blockbuster movie, an award-winning Broadway show, the subject of best-selling books—and one dramatic, tragic night in history that has intrigued generation after generation.
After all we have heard and seen about the sinking of the unsinkable
ship, there is still something hauntingly magnetic about her story. In the early twentieth century, the RMS Titanic was the crowning achievement of human technology—and yet an iceberg in the north Atlantic Ocean sent her to the bottom in two hours. There may never have been one vessel that carried more of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful at one time. Yet the wealth and power were rendered meaningless in a moment by six small gashes in Titanic’s massive hull.
For the seven hundred survivors—more than fifteen hundred passengers and crew died—the images of that horrific April night in the North Atlantic are unforgettable. The brightly lit ocean liner sinking lower and lower … the futile flares exploding in the sky above the doomed vessel ... the ship’s last agonizing moments with her bow pointing upward, then sliding beneath the water ... and the sudden near silence as the ocean erased the Titanic from her icy surface.
Moviegoers and book readers will remember those images. But of all the mental pictures of what author Walter Lord called A Night to Remember, none is more unsettling to me than what happened after the Titanic disappeared below the surface. The survivor accounts of that night tell us that there were only twenty lifeboats aboard—about half the number required to fully evacuate the ship. Most of them were only partially full; some were actually half-empty! As the Titanic was sinking, many passengers were able to put on a life jacket, but they could not find an available lifeboat. They jumped or fell into
