SEAL of God - Paperback

by Chad Williams (Author), David Thomas (With), Greg Laurie (Foreword by)

The suspenseful true story of a soldier willing to sacrifice everything for his comrades.

Days before Chad Williams was to report to military duty in Great Lakes, Illinois, he turned on a television and was greeted with the horrifying images of his mentor, US Navy SEAL Scott Helvenston, being brutally murdered in a premeditated ambush on the roads of Fallujah, Iraq. Steeled in his resolve, Chad followed in Scott's footsteps and completed the US military's most difficult and grueling training to become a Navy SEAL. One of only 13 from a class of 173 to make it straight through to graduation, Chad served his country on SEAL Teams One and Seven for five years, completing tours of duty in the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Iraq.

Part memoir, part evangelism piece, SEAL of God follows Chad's courageous journey through:

• His reckless adolescence where he drifted from God
• The grueling Naval Ops training that tested his resilience and determination
• The streets of Iraq, where he witnessed the horrors of war up close

Along the way, Chad shares his own radical conversion story and talks about how he draws on his own experiences as a SEAL to help others better understand the depths of Christ's sacrifice and love.
