Tough and bossy, he gives orders which are not to be discussed, but, one day, he is forced to accept on board several German Jews fleeing the Nazis and who are refused asylum everywhere. He gradually realizes that skipper he is, but next to God only. The Bible will help him to find the way to self-questioning, awareness, and charity. Written by Guy Bellinger See less
