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.

Must read!

Riveting narration, and inspiring story! Chad gives us an example of how the negative aspects of a strong will can be changed to a positive (hanging on through tough SEAL training) and then mellowed when submitted under God. Thanks for sharing your life story so honestly, Chad! God bless you!

Solid

Great story full of surprises and plenty of heart. Glad we have guys like this in the spec ops. The reading could’ve been better with most of the book read in the same tone but overall well done.

A different take on conversion

I enjoyed this book. As a Christian Man I found the story of Chad's desire to become a Seal and struggles he had before, during and after SEAL training to be quite interesting. I also could relate to the thrill of new faith and how transforming and clumsy that can be. I think my only critique might be how military service and even War balance out the faith walk of a Christian. I feel like maybe the dignity of a human pursuit such as becoming a SEAL may have somehow been minimized due to the conversion experience that Chad describes. It just felt a bit overzealous. I think it may depend more on where the reader is in their own faith walk and self mastery or self discovery of Body, Mind And Spirit. Over all an enjoyable book.

Navy SEALs and Faith Inner Look

A captivating engaging look into the world, mindset, physical demands on Navy seal. The conversion story of a man in placing his life in the hands of God and the most important journey and destination one could have as he honors God with important work.
