Dear Friend,

I was just 13 years old when I lost my arm in a shark attack. A lot of people thought I'd be too scared to ever surf again.

But just 4 weeks later I was back in the water.

It was partly due to my parents’ unconditional support and my love of the ocean. But the biggest reason I kept surfing was my belief that God had my back.   

And I want more children to hear that message because too many of them are being trained up in fear, not faith. 

That's why I wrote a children's book called "Surfing Past Fear" with an amazing Christian publisher called Brave Books. 

I hope you'll consider giving a gift of $100 or any amount you can afford to support Brave Books as they help parents raise strong, resilient, God-loving children.  

In courage,

Bethany Hamilton

P.S. I've set aside a small number of copies of "Surfing Past Fear" just for the friends of Brave Books. When you support their work today with your gift of $100 or more, it'll be my honor to send you one. Thank you for helping America's children learn that God "has not given them a spirit of fear!" (2 Timothy 1:7) -- Bethany
