a surfer’’s guide to the soul

Emptiness. Burnout. Financial worries. Physical suffering.

Does your life ever feel like a storm surge?

World-champion surfer and adventurer Bear Woznick has spent decades on the ocean, riding its waves. He doesn’t stand on the shore with his toes in the sand; he goes out into the deep water to watch and wait -- and, if need be, to paddle hard to survive.

In this compelling spiritual memoir, Bear takes you on a journey from the ＂mountain waves＂ of Hawaii to ＂the Wedge＂ of Newport Beach, California, showing how his experience surfing led him to a profound encounter with God: ＂Wave after timeless wave breaking on the shore drew me into a contemplation of God’s eternity.＂

Journey with Bear through the winter and summer swells of his life, and how he learned to become a ＂soul surfer.＂ Drawing from decade
