About the Book:
Living Water is a collection of revelatory thoughts and creative vision, poetically woven into a visual expression of Thurston's passion for the artistic nature of the breaking wave. It explores thought-provoking concepts about the common words we all identify with in the human experience and immerses the viewer in a world of powerful, captivating ocean energy and creative prowess.
Thurston's artistry and poetic philosophy are designed to stir the reader's imagination and inspire the heart, shining light on new perspectives while, at the same time, challenging and even confronting one's own mindsets and ideologies.
“When I’m immersed in nature, I see intelligent design, I see intentional beauty, and I see irrefutable purpose in every aspect of every detail. Still, above all this, I see a very clear, artistic flare woven throughout the natural world, with beauty often being the primary objective. The photography and concepts in this book reflect my observation of this phenomenon. Regardless of one's beliefs or background, may this book inspire your heart to be wild, your love to be courageous, and your eyes to be open. There's beauty all around us, and I don't want you to miss it! Life is a journey and equipped with the gifts and passion I have been entrusted with, I invite you to come on this adventure with me to the place where the living water flows."

The cover wrap is a silky ocean blue, Matte machine varnished scuff-free laminate, enclosed in an elegant gloss white box with foam inserts protecting the publication in a timeless fashion.

Cant find adequate words to describe this work of art. Definitely inspired & a gift that breathes life through his lens & thoughts.
I was so happy to give a copy of Living Water to my very best friend for the holidays. She was so moved by the depth, breadth, beauty, intentionality, care and LOVE that has been poured into this book.
Living Water is a work of art that is to be savored and honored, letting both the words and photos sink deep into the soul. It is a daily devotional itself, a love letter to both God and all us here below with a reminder of how water connects us all.
Like our earthly home, more than half of our bodies are made of water; what a glorious gift this book is to pause on that, rejoice, and give thanks to the Giver of all living water.
Beautifully written. Like reading the words of someone that feels familiar because they lead to those glimmers of hope and spirit that quench the heaven parched soul. Phil and his book are true windows to His love, the love of Jesus, our greatest, truest, pure source of Living Water. I am moved by your inspired words and ability to see and reflect the light of Christ. The wave of good you set in motion in our world of trial and tribulation feels like seeing the sun hitting the waves just right AND we do actually get to behold that beauty in the waves and have a copy of this work of art and inspiration captured to remind us. Thank you💕
I gave the book to two of my close friends for Christmas and they absolutely love it. We have followed your work for several years (and I licensed one of your images for a book cover). Living Water is such a beautiful compilation of your images and words. One friend commented that your opening quote has always been one of her favorites.
Living Water is a captivating blend of spirituality, art, and poetry that flows as effortlessly as the waves it describes. The author masterfully uses vivid imagery of water—its strength, rhythm, and renewal—to convey profound spiritual truths.
Each poem feels like a ripple that grows into a wave of reflection, guiding readers toward deeper insights about life, faith, and grace. The combination of poetic language and the symbolic power of water creates a meditative experience that soothes the soul and stirs the spirit.
This book isn’t just something you read; it’s something you feel. The imagery of waves crashing, ebbing, and flowing mirrors the spiritual highs and lows we all face, making it both relatable and deeply moving.
Living Water is perfect for anyone seeking peace, encouragement, and a renewed connection to the divine through the beauty of words and nature. It’s a book you’ll want to savor slowly, one poetic wave at a time.
Eternity was placed in our heart, not our mind that we’d find the courage to leave our logic behind. A seed planted deep within, that words cannot explain, that from that seed a faith might come, that this life cannot contain. Time is the one thing that we’ll just never have enough, but in eternity there is endless amounts of the stuff, so, the question remains, how on earth do we find it? Don’t ask me, ask the one who designed it. Yet, since we are all heading down that track, there's one thing I do know for sure, is that faith, hope and love are the best things to pack, when you go knockin' on eternity’s door..
