High on Adventure: Stories of Good, Clean, Spine-Tingling Fun

From meeting a 17 foot great white shark face to face, to diving from an airplane toward the earth's surface at 120 MPH, to exploring a sunker battle cruiser from WWII in the dark depths of the South Pacific Ocean, author and adventure Stephen Arrington retells many exciting tales from his life as a navy frogman and chief diver for the Cousteau Society. Each story is laced with Arrington's Christian belief and outlook that life is an adventure waiting to be had. Arrington warns today's youth against such luring deterrents as alcohol, drugs, and the like, which can only keep you from experiencing each moment so rich with possibilities for adventure. He reflects on himself as a youth and the dreams he dreamed, which did come true once he put his life in God's hands, and allowed His will to be his guide.
