Young girls will get encouraging words from the Bible and from courageous, young surfer Bethany Hamilton to see them through their day in this devotional book. Both 'hot' and 'cool' topics that every young girl faces will be addressed. An extra, tucked-in feature will give the girls the 'inside scoop' on what Bethany's life is all about.

In Rise Above, a book of devotions, teen surfing star Bethany Hamilton shares with young girls her courage and enthusiasm for God, inspiring them to face life head on and stand strong in their faith.

Since losing her arm, Bethany Hamilton has been featured all over the media, both nationally and internationally. Her story has been told in dozens of newspapers, magazines, news shows, and talk shows. Bethany has chosen to use her experience to become an inspiration and help others to overcome adversity, no matter how great. 'People I don't even know come up to me. I guess they see me as a symbol of courage and inspiration. One thing hasn't changed—and that's how I feel when I'm riding a wave.'
