Quotes by Glenn Alan Cheney (?)

“They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; He shows by the sea what care God has over man, for when he delivers them from the great danger of the sea, he delivers them as it were from a thousand deaths.”
― Glenn Alan Cheney, Thanksgiving: The Pilgrims' First Year in America
