The Pelican History of the Church, vol. 3, The Reformation, by Owen Chadwick, is a lucid and concise account of a difficult time in Christianity. The cover gives it all away: the painting, "Fishers of Men", does not show unity but competition, as different boats and different fishers try to net and pull in souls in peril.
Souls in peril.
Though, who calmed the sea? It was not Herod.
Don't be too sold on a presenting answer to your own desperate needs.
You may see beyond the dark times, the current crisis, to the evermore faithful providence, the one who always extends his helping hand whether you are in the boat or out.
