Synopsis

A BEST-SELLING true story of adventure, risk, and spiritual quest

; In a remarkable twist of fate, a young man chooses to turn his back on a rare chance at fame and fortune, opting instead to devote his life to Christian service. Little does he know that this decision would lead him on a thrilling journey filled with swashbuckling adventure, Victorian romance, heart-wrenching loss, and uproarious escapades that would take him across continents and beneath treacherous seas. Through these experiences, he learns the profound reward of following when God calls, of letting go of the treasures of the world for all that God has to offer.

A triumphant memoir loved by the whole family

Lowell Lytle, now in his nineties, has confronted all these obstacles and more, yet he continues to respond with a resounding "yes" whenever God summons him to face formidable challenges.

About the Author

Lowell Lytle, a prominent Christian author and speaker, has garnered widespread acclaim for his captivating portrayal of Captain E. J. Smith from the historic Titanic. For years, he held the esteemed position of artist in residence at the Titanic museums in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and Branson, Missouri, where he wholeheartedly embraced the role until reaching the remarkable age of 90. Furthermore, Lowell stands as an imposing figure, quite possibly the tallest person to embark on a profound dive 2-1/2 miles beneath the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean, descending to the solemn resting place of the Titanic. This extraordinary privilege was bestowed upon him on August 17, 2000, when he was 68 years old, owing to his extraordinary ability to weave captivating tales. Lowell recounts this incredible experience and much more in his debut book, "Diving into the Deep." The impact of Lowell's story extends far beyond the Titanic. He is a gifted storyteller, a fearless evangelist, a remarkably creative artist and skilled builder, a visionary entrepreneur, a globe-trotter, and an intrepid adventurer. His honest and gripping narratives of his numerous metaphorical and literal "dives into the deep" continue to touch the lives of countless individuals each year. Whether hearing him speak, reading or listening to his book "Diving into the Deep," or engaging with his groundbreaking work on evangelism in "God's Rock and Roll Army," people are drawn to Lowell's inspiring accounts, which lead them to remove the word "no" from their vocabulary.
