One of my favorite books that I read over the course of this semester was a book called Soul Surfer. This tells the story of a girl named Bethany Hamilton who was attacked by a shark surfing in Hawaii several years ago. The attack caused her to lose her left arm and made it to where she thought she'd never be able to surf again. In the story she tells readers how the ocean was her home. She says that she spent more time wet then dry, and her mom described her as a mermaid. In the story, we see how she had a connection with God through surfing. If it wasn't for her strong faith in the Lord then she would have never been able to get back on the board again. She quotes from the bible "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength"-Philippians 4:13. This incident made her realize just how great Gods creation is.
