Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board
of Bethany Hamilton, Sheryl Berk, Rick Bundschuh
Description
They say Bethany Hamilton has saltwater in her veins. How else could one explain the passion that drives her to surf? How else could one explain that nothingânot even the loss of her armâcould come between her and the waves? That Halloween morning in Kauai, Hawaii, Bethany responded to the sharkâs stealth attack with the calm of a girl with God on her side. Pushing pain and panic aside, she began to paddle with one arm, focusing on a single thought: âGet to the beach....â And when the first thing Bethany wanted to know after surgery was âWhen can I surf again?â it became clear that her spirit and determination were part of a greater storyâa tale of courage and faith that this soft-spoken girl would come to share with the world. Soul Surfer is a moving account of Bethanyâs life as a young surfer, her recovery after the attack, the adjustments sheâs made to her unique surfing style, her unprecedented bid for a top showing in the World Surfing Championships, and, most fundamentally, her belief in God. It is a story of girl power and spiritual grit that shows the body is no more essential to surfingâperhaps even less soâthan the soul.
