A Warrior's Faith by Robert Vera

Ryan Job, Navy SEAL, was gravely injured by a sniper in Ramadi. His head wounds resulted in total blindness. This book tells the story of Ryan’s training to be a SEAL, demonstrating his character by enduring more and worse than most in order to qualify. After his near-fatal injury, Ryan slowly recovers and eventually marries. Ryan determines to be the best blind man he can be. He pursues athletics and friendships, eventually scaling Mount Rainier with the help of his friends and teammates. If you are curious about what it takes to be a Navy SEAL or what they are like, this book will fill in the gaps for you. If you want to read about an exemplary young man whose character was revealed in the crucible, this book is for you. If you want to be encouraged by a noble story, this book is for you. I received this book for free in exchange for my unbiased review through the Thomas Nelson BookSneeze Program.
