Written by Chad Williams together with David Thomas, SEAL of God tells the journey of Chad from the years of being an undisciplined youth with no direction in life, to a US Navy SEAL, to ultimately an evangelist. This book is an excellent resource that we recommend to anyone who are in military service.
This book is about the story of Chad, who grew up in a Christian home but was distant from God. One day, he decided that he wanted to become a Navy SEAL. Out of frustration to his immaturity, his dad contacted Scott Helvenston, a former SEAL to dissuade him and show to him that being a SEAL is hard. Instead, Helvenston became his mentor, a friend and like his second dad. Days before Chad was to report to military duty in Great Lakes in Illinois, he found out from the news that his mentor, Helvenston was killed on the roads of Fullujah, Iraq. Driven by intense rage and desire to avenge his mentor, his goal of becoming a SEAL became an obsession. Chad’s goal made him feel empty and lonely inside that when he was home for weekend, he would drink and fight and engages in self destructive behavior. But when he goes to an evangelistic crusade he became a Christian and his life was radically changed. Part memoir, part evangelism piece, SEAL of God is a riveting journey not only into the life of SEAL recruit, but also the aftermath of what faith in Jesus Christ did to his mindset and his career.
