How else could one explain the passion that drives her to surf? How else could one explain 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 began to paddle with one arm, focusing on a single thought: \"Get to the beach....\" And when the first thing Bethany wanted to know after surgery was \"When can I surf again?\" it became clear that her spirit and determination were part of a greater story--a tale of courage and faith that this soft-spoken girl would come to share with the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoul Surfer\u003c\/i\u003e 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. It is a story of girl power and spiritual grit that shows the body is no more essential to surfing--perhaps even less so--than the soul.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MTV Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416503460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.18w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2005 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2011 pg. 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e86352 \/ Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade Plus \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bethany Hamilton, Rick Bundschuh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36649840214172,"sku":"9781416503460","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_eeafca99-edfb-40ec-a294-61505426fdfa.jpg?v=1603873839","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/soul-surfer-a-true-story-of-faith-family-and-fighting-to-get-back-on-the-board-9781416503460","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
