Description
This is a life story about an ordinary man, David, born in 1936, who demonstrates an extraordinary ability to overcome challenging obstacles because of his faith in God and his resourcefulness. He is much like the David of the Old Testament, who overcame the giant warrior, Goliath, with a simple river pebble.During a lifetime of marine salvage work in Puget Sound and Hawaii, David, as salvor, mirrors God's activity in discovering, restoring, and repairing wreckage. David's keen awareness of and trust in God's loving care, continuously, opens his eyes to see and hope for the successful results that are always possible, often leading to his actual success. David's realization of God's love, expressed in an enduring "attitude of gratitude," leads him to a life of sharing his joy with others through a fun-loving and playful spirit, as expressed in the many entertaining stories he recounts in this book. David's life on the water, especially as a youth in Puget Sound, is energized by the same spirit as Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer. Please join in David's adventures.
