More About the Author

Since losing her arm, Bethany has chosen to use her experience to become an inspiration and help others to overcome adversity, no matter how great. "People I don't even know come up to me. I guess they see me as a symbol of courage and inspiration. One thing hasn't changed--and that's how I feel when I'm riding a wave."

This review is from: Soul Surfer Devotions (Paperback)

My daughter, who just turned 11, wanted this book after seeing the movie. She just loves it. There are pictures and places to write some of her thoughts, and the devotions are really good, in depth, real-life, thought-provoking devotions that will speak to the hearts of young people as well as adults. They have sparked some good conversations between my daughter and me.

This review is from: Devotions for the Soul Surfer: Daily Thoughts to Charge Your Life (Paperback)

This book was mainly devoted to bringing up all of the tough points of being a teenager, and how to make it through these times with Christ. I found it very inspirational and motivating because on each page, there was a Bible verse that coincided with the topic at hand. It gets repetitive at times, but it's definitely worth a read. It will inspire you to become a better Christian and a better person.

I bought this for my 15 year old daughter after she read the book Soul Surfer. She enjoys the devotions. For her, it makes spending time with God more fun. She enjoys all of the bible verses that are in there.
