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.

God always has a better plan for us

I know how we feel when we have plans for our own life but Jesus has a better one. Good book and testimony of how Gods guiding Hand is always there but we don't see it until we gone through the path that was laided before us.

I was there

Where does Seal of God rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

What a cool story about life. Why is it that the kids that hate authority the most always seem to want to go into the toughest of the military. This is a great read that is read by the author. I really enjoyed the story and could relate to the changes and trials in his life.

What other book might you compare Seal of God to and why?

No Easy Day, Many of the same issues and experiences

Heroes Journey for real.

This book had all the elements of a hero's journey except it was for real. But it has one main exception, God was in control. the book also answers a major life question. the question is, what does one do when they achieve their highest goal.

Truth packed, inspirational, and accessible!

A fantastic listen filled with accessible stories and truths that hit home over and over again. Solidly written and narrated, I found myself walking through the peaks and valleys of this book with the author, literally cheering during the high points, and reflecting deeply during the lows. A must read story of a wayward prodigal turned Navy Seal, overcoming obstacles, and absolute redemption filled with truth bombs along the way.
