Karen Ann Kennedy's earliest experience in church is going to a Catholic mass with a childhood friend. She doesn't understand why church has to be so imposing and frightening. It isn't until much later that she realizes that there are other types of believers in other types of churches.
Feeling that something is missing from her own life, Kennedy spends many years searching. But she doesn't even know what she is looking for until she is guided to a little church on the beach. Her first Sunday at Ocean City Baptist Church changes her life forever.
As a child, Karen Ann Kennedy wanted to be a stand-up comedian, and her comedic skill certainly shows in Salvation by the Sea. Her writing is sometimes gentle, sometimes bold, but always funny. She is ready to take new Christians by the hand and let them know that "we're in this together."
Kennedy offers advice and words of encouragement for other new believers as they start their Christian lives. Her salvation story is triumphant and her guidance comforting to anyone who knows, or wants to know, what it is like to be forever changed by the Word of God.
