Description

In this moving personal account of faith and fortitude, across the world ranked surfer Bethany Hamilton tells how she survived a shark attack that cost her arm–but not her spirit.

They say Bethany Hamilton has saltwater in her veins. How else could one provide an explanation for the passion that drives her to surf? How else could one provide an explanation for that nothing—not even the loss of her arm—could come between her and the waves? That Halloween morning in Kauai, Hawaii, Bethany responded to the shark’s stealth attack with the calm of a girl with God on her side. Pushing pain and panic aside, she started to paddle with one arm, that specialize in a single thought: “Get to the beach….” And when the very first thing Bethany wanted to know after surgery used to be “When can I surf again?” it became clear that her spirit and determination were a part of a greater story—a tale of courage and faith that this soft-spoken girl would come to share with the world.

Soul Surfer is a moving account of Bethany’s life as a young surfer, her recovery after the attack, the adjustments she’s 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. This can be a story of girl power and non secular grit that shows the body is no more essential to surfing—most likely even less so—than the soul.
