Publisher's summary

"There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends." (John 15:13)

Just days before Chad Williams was scheduled to report for basic training at the Great Lakes naval base, he turned on the television and was greeted with the horrifying image of his mentor and training partner, US Navy SEAL Scott Helvenston, being brutally murdered in a premeditated ambush on the streets of Fallujah, Iraq. Steeled in his resolve, Chad committed himself to completing the US military’s most difficult training to become a Navy SEAL - and avenge his friend’s death.

One of only 13 out of a class of 173 to make it straight through to graduation, Chad went on to serve on SEAL Teams 1 and 7, completing tours of duty in the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and finally Iraq. There, Chad’s journey came full circle when his team was ambushed by enemy machine gunners - close to the same road where his hero had been killed five years earlier.

SEAL of God follows Chad’s extraordinary journey through 25 grueling weeks of BUD/S training and onto the hostile streets of Al Anbar Province, Iraq, where he witnessed the horrors of war up close. Along the way, Chad shares his own radical conversion story and discovers the true meaning of ultimate sacrifice.

Great story for any listener

My whole family loved this story by Chad. This story really is for anyone. I've got three girls who really got into the story. Chad doesn't curse or dwell on any topic too long to be overly concerned for young ears. sure, some topics give you a discussion opportunity with your kids but nothing too sticky.

Inspiring and encouraging

This book was awesome! I really enjoyed learning about Chad's experiences in BUD/S and as a SEAL. His conversion story was truly a wonderful account of God's mercy for sinners, and his commitment to his God, country, family, and Scott Helvenston was truly inspiring. I hope to be able to meet Chad one day, shake his hand, and thank him for his service and for fighting for freedom. More importantly, I hope to encourage him as he serves our great God, reaches out to the lost, and works to further the kingdom of God. Hooyah, Chad!

Be Encouraged

You can tell that the book is written from the heart. There is a great goal of the book, and that is for you to know that you can live a life that may be different than anything you know. I know that I have been encouraged to keep moving through the impossible and watch it become possible!
