Book excerpt: Working Description: World-champion surfer and adventurer Bear Woznick has spent decades on the ocean, riding its waves. He doesn't stand on the shore with his toes in the sand; he goes out into the deep water to watch and wait -- and, if need be, to paddle hard to survive. In this compelling spiritual memoir, Bear takes you on a journey from the "mountain waves" of Hawaii to "the Wedge" of Newport Beach, California, showing how his experience surfing led him to a profound encounter with God: "Wave after timeless wave breaking on the shore drew me into a contemplation of God's eternity." Journey with Bear through the winter and summer swells of his life, and how he learned to become a "soul surfer." Drawing from decades of his own reflections and growth, he'll show you how to: - Go into the deep to find communion and intimacy with God - Be bold and decisive even when there's no surf in sight - Attune your soul to God, like a tandem surfboarder, and plunge into the waves - Surrender yourself to the Creator, just as a surfer abandons himself to an epic wave - Let go, rest in God, and allow Him to work in your life - Detach from the false comforts of the world to be free, like a surfer leaving the shore - Enter the ocean's solitude and be transformed to contemplate God face-to-face - Humble yourself before the awesome power of God so He can raise you up over the waves

Book excerpt: They say Bethany Hamilton has saltwater in her veins. How else could one explain the tremendous passion that drives her to surf? How else could one explain that nothing - not even the loss of her arm in a horrific shark attack - could come between her and the waves? That Halloween morning in Kauai, Hawaii Bethany responded to the shark's stealth with a calmness beyond belief. Pushing pain and panic aside, she immediately thought: 'Get to the beach...'
