The book Soul Surfer is about a surfer named Bethany Hamilton that gets her arm bitten off by a shark while surfing.  It is a very encouraging story about faith in God and courage to get back on the board.  One memorable quote is: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."-Jeremiah 29:11

    The movie was very inspirational and left you wishing for the main character. I really liked the connection to God and the Bible in the story.

      That verse reminds me a lot of the sermon Pastor Matt preached bout on Sunday. How god had and has plans for you no matter what. With Lily and the lady.

    I love the movie! I have never read the book, but the movie was great. Adding on to what Jason said, it did leave you inspired and wanting Bethany to live a great life. I have heard that verse before and it makes me stay strong in faith.

    A very inspirational quote from the Bible, indeed. You should put it on the Speedbumps blog! Was that a true story? Was the girl in the picture the real person?

    Well, I haven't read the book, but judging from the movie, I can infer that it was a good read. I loved how they incorporated God in it and it really lifted my faith.

    I haven't read the book or read the movie, but I guise I was kind of shocked and freaked out. I didn't realize that it really related to the BIBLE that much and so thanks Audrey for the realization and lifter-upper about the book/ movie.

    I have e seen a little bit of the movie and so far I really suspect the book to be great. I remember watching a interview and she was in it. It was pretty life shocking how dangerous beauty can be.

    I have seen the movie and the book is always better than the movie. It is amazing how she recovers from that injury.
