A pastor-fisherman guides fellow outdoors-lovers through forty theologically rich, story-driven devotionals in this deep dive into biblical truths.
The first four people Jesus called to be His students and future ambassadors were fishermen—and today He still calls those who work and recreate in the outdoors. In The Far Bank, Pastor Zeke Pipher offers forty devotions, each designed to hook anglers with an intriguing fishing story that leads them to reflect on their relationship with God.
This distinctive devotional provides:
- Theological insights within engaging stories.
- Quotations, Scripture, prayers, and application questions with every devotion.
- A suggested reading plan to prompt discussions among friends on a fishing trip.
- A spiritual journey to move you beyond the sentiment “I feel closest to God when I’m outside” to “I know God deeply and sense His presence at all times.”
If spending time in wild, rugged places inspires you to reflect upon the essential things in life, The Far Bank will deepen your enjoyment and understanding of God and His incredible creation.

About the Author:
“In The Far Bank, Zeke takes readers into the water, into adventure, so that we can know and enjoy our Lord. God speaks in wild places. He will speak to you through The Far Bank. From one trout bum to another, I strongly recommend this book.”
Jason Hamrick
fly fishing instructor, fishing guide, and owner of Cowboy Drifters Fly Shop (Casper, WY)
“In short, I read anything and everything Zeke produces, especially when he has the chance to weave spiritual insight into his outdoor adventures as he does in The Far Bank. I can think of no one more qualified and capable of penning a devotional for anglers.”

field editor and columnist for Field & Stream magazine
“I happen to love two things Zeke loves, fly-fishing and the gospel. You don’t have to love either to enjoy this book, but you may end up treasuring both. With heart and art, Zeke invites us to connect with the beauty of God’s creation, the possibilities of his grace, and the gift of new life. These 40 devotional reflections are a well-timed mercy to my own heart, as they will be to many.”
