Soul Surfer Devotions

This book is excellent. I can’t speak enough to the positive Spirit reflected in this book by Bethany. Her story is one to remember and I like the way this devotional lays out encouraging messages and incorporates excellent scripture. I highly recommend from teens through 20’s

I am the oddest of persons to have a Bethany Hamilton fancrush. Most of her fans seem to be teenage girls and I am neither female nor a teenager. About the only thing I have in common with her is being Evangelical and disabled(epilepsy and social disability to be precise). Yet for some reason I have come to like her though seeing on the internet all those hordes of teenage females hanging on my every word makes me think,"Lord Please, have mercy on her! Send her back to the beach! No girl deserves to be burdened with this!" In fact one thing contemplating her did was reduce my resentment at not doing glorious deeds. I am now thankful to be obscure.I am so much different from Bethany that I have to be tempted to judge it based on my predispositions rather then hers. I am a "teacher" and I would have written a series of deep theological essays. Bethany is a "mercy". For those not familiar with Evangelical theological jargon, those are two different talents to be used in serving God. Teaching is about imparting knowledge and mercy is about kindness. Bethany's essays are in many ways tautological. They are obviously disproportionately directed toward the teenage girls who form most of her fanbase. However they give encouragement and remind readers of lessons they had never heard before while they are at a tender age. It is quite good for this. Bethany's tender big-sisterly personality comes out and she manages to make Godliness seem "cool" which makes it a good read for a teenage girl at a vulnerable stage.It is a good enough work. But take it for what it is not what it isn't.

I really like this devotional. I saw the movie Soul Surfer and was inspired by Bethany's story. How she remained faithful to God after her shark attack and even now is more than enough reason to want to read this.This book gives Biblical, practical advice for young teenage girls and young women. I am a twenty-something, and even I am encouraged by it. When I am done with it, I am thinking about donating it to my church library so someone else can benefit from it.Kudos to Bethany for this devotional!

This is a great book for teenagers as it helps to build self esteem on sound principles. Bethany uses a very conversational tone and is able to write about the topics that would most interest the teen set. Lots of frank, good advice from an author who has had to work out the issues of life at an early age.

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.

This is better than I expected. The devotions are encouraging and inspirational. My daughter is a swimmer and several of the mentions of surfing can apply to any sport. I think this book would be good for any teen/tween girls, but is especially meaningful to athletes.

Purchased for our daughter. She loved it. Bethany Hamilton is an inspiration beating the odds despite her circumstances. She is an example that teaches that one can still exceed in life despite limitations.

Thank you Amazon for the quick service on my order for the soul surfer devotion book. It arrived in great shape earlier than expected and it just so happened my granddaughter was having a procedure and so I gave her the book that morning while she was waiting and she absolutely loved it and timing was perfect. Thank you for your great products and service. You make it a little too easy to spend money! :-)

Very straight forward. As described and prompt. Well done.

Soulful devotional.

Really great content, and good read for pre-teens.

bought this for my 13 year old daughter, she likes it
