Navy SEAL A Warrior's Faith
#1 Amazon Best Seller and 2016 Illumination Silver Medal for Best Memoir. Readers will remember Navy SEAL Ryan Job as the character Biggles from the film American Sniper. In A Warrior’s Faith, Ryan Job’s.
In A Warrior’s Faith, Ryan Job’s close friend, Robert Vera, recounts how the highly decorated Navy SEAL’s unstoppable sense of humour, positive attitude, and fierce determination helped him survive after being shot in the face by an enemy sniper on a roof in Ramadi, Iraq.
Though blinded, the irrepressible Job recovered from his wounds and began facing a new set of obstacles with his characteristic humour and resolve. He married the girl of his dreams, hunted elk, climbed Mt. Rainier, graduated college with honours, influenced countless people around him, and was looking forward to being a father—before his life was tragically cut short by a hospital medical error.
Vera’s raw, often funny, and heartfelt account of his friend’s life offers listeners a way to find hope in the middle of life’s raging storms.
