Waterborne: Chronicle of the Clan of Noah

The famed prophet and shipbuilder lays in his tent, on his deathbed. The family gathers, as family will, taking turns at his side. Each brings their memories, scars, and burdens. A wife, three sons, and their three wives—each knows the past, and each offers a telling.

From smallest detail to sweeping revelation, we are told of life inside the family that survived the prophecy, absorbed the ridicule and carried the memory. Construction plans scratched onto slate, snakes the girth of cedar trunks, and a vineyard reduced to a pasture of ash. With the sunrise over a new world, a single narrative emerges of life inside the clan of Noah.

Book Description.

Each of us did with the last hours as we would.

And as we could. Some listened. Some spoke. Some sat in silence. Some held tumblers of wine to his lips to ease his pain. All of us looked and saw his body wrung of labor, void of strength. The prophet, patriarch, and shipbuilder half blind and deaf. He who had once seen the vision and heard the words of The Maker.

What follows is our story—of these last days, indeed, but more so—the story of all that brought us here. The story that yielded such an ending.

Together we pause, turn, and look over our shoulders.

Here is what we see.

  • David Marsh has written an evocative, descriptive, poetic eulogy of the builder of the biblical ark of Genesis: Noah. The beauty of his imagery in referring to God as the Maker “who speaks not in a voice like a man. His Voice blooms ... like a seed. Chosen for a moment to release ... and to blossom.” Each image-packed page was full of turmoil for the characters and for my own feelings of uncertainty and questioning in life. I was challenged, encouraged, and hope-filled by the end.~ Gene Kent, COO, Speak Up Ministries, Co author of Staying Power: Building a Stronger Marriage When Life Sends Its Worst
  • David Marsh brings the story of Noah alive. A masterful writer, David captures each person’s likely emotions and experiences, drawing you into a deeper understanding of this important biblical event. I highly recommend it.~ Mark Savage, pastor, speaker, and author of No More Perfect Marriages
  • A Christian author crafts his message from the vision God stirs within his heart. His hope is to expand on the vision, capturing the reader through words and images that inspire a journey filled with experiencing God’s presence––and hope. Waterborne sparks one of these exceptional adventures and leaves the reader wanting more. Now I can imagine the story from a perspective I had never considered. Step into this fresh re-telling with David Marsh and enjoy the possibilities as they unfold.~ Scott Schuler, author, Why Can’t I Get This Jesus Thing Right and disciple guide, Getting It Right With Jesus
