DESTIN, Fla., April 14, 2020 /Christian Newswire/ -- L.C. (Larry) Fowler (photo), a graduate of Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL (BUD/S) Class '89, an invited guest at the White House, has trained along with Christian personnel across the globe, including Pakistan, Indonesia, and China. He argues that to follow Christ today requires Navy SEAL-like toughness. That opinion seems more relevant than ever in facing the coronavirus.
Larry Fowler says,
"Any great achievement like surviving SEAL training requires an extraordinary focus on teamwork. Lives depend on this during war. Could there be a better time to watch out for others when 90% of our thoughts are consumed about self in a 'me-generation.' Can you imagine the less anxiety we'd have if we could reduce this self-addiction just a fraction in America today?
"When the BUD/S instructor tied both hands together behind my back then my ankles I knew that I was in trouble during the oncoming 50-meter swim. My first swim was successful but an instructor saw my wrist bleeding from rope burns made it obvious I was a weak swimmer. He then tightly pulled my elbows back together and tied them too. It's moments like this, you must rely on an inner strength beyond human reasoning.
"Fear is not to be found in a SEAL's vocabulary. They don't run from their fears but run to them. No matter how dire the circumstances, a SEAL will never give up nor should any Christian."
Last week the secular Nonfiction Authors Association awarded Dare to Live Greatly its highest award commenting, "(this book) wouldn't normally be my choice, but it draws you in to see links between being a SEAL and a Christian. This is a powerful story that will resonate with many readers, whatever their religious beliefs."
Fowler adds,
"No other book juxtaposes Christian living through the gutsy lens of a Navy SEAL while training in Coronado, California.
"Our BUD/S Class '89 motto was the original 'The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday' and our class plaque still hangs in the BUD/S compound today. It means thriving forward every day with a positive attitude. Even with the uncertainty of the COVID-19, no matter how unnerving your future may appear, it means thanking God upfront and in advance and thriving forward for all the days to come."
Larry Fowler originally a Chattanooga TN native now resides in Destin, Florida.
