Early Christianity used a number of secret symbols to identify and communicate, one of which was the anchor, which contains in it the graphical element of the Cross. The writer of Hebrews in the Bible also used the concept of the anchor to show how secure was our relationship to God through our great High Priest, the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that both uses of the anchor inspired the title and theme of this book.
