About this deal

Anna was Pretty stupid.. . But it was fine to pass the time.. It's not like I had anything else to do... If you are social distancing right now and looking for a fine read choose this one... I think a lot of people rate this as 5 starts because anything less may be considered to be not "patriotic". The fact is that this book is good, but not great. It is an interesting read at points, less than interesting at other points.

There is a quote from the Bible etched onto the memorial that stands in the shadow of World Trade Center steel that resembles a massive trident:‘Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”’ That was Adam Brown. Fearless is a clear and deeply honest portrait of an authentic American man who lived and loved with an intrepid personal velocity. For most of us, the failures and disappointments in life take their toll. Not for Adam Brown. He vanquished all life’s heartbreaks with faith, humility, and hard work. His commitment to his family and his friends helped forge Adam Brown into the rarest of warriors. Long live the Brotherhood.” Most importantly, I marvel at the grace of God. Eric Brown's life, just as it is with anyone who has been redeemed, is a testament to God's infinite love and kindness. I was encouraged to be a channel of this kindness to others, and a faithful witness of his gospel. There are Eric Browns all around us. They need Jesus, not our judgment. They need grace. Everyone has been hearing about the Navy SEAL novel "No Easy Day". I personally think the guy who wrote it may have put himself and family and other SEAL team members in harmsway. Because during a mission Adam Brown lost the eyesight on his right eye. He was supposed to be honourably discharged BUT REFUSED. He made them let him stay (I can't even wrap my mind around how he managed that). He went on another mission some time later and was hurt again. This time, his humvee flipped over, landing on his right hand, cutting off 4 of his fingers. They were surgically reattached but - as you can imagine - the hand never worked properly again. So they wanted to honourably discharge him again. AND HE REFUSED AGAIN. He became a leftie instead. Yeah, because that is what everyone would do. Right?! He went on to become a member of the best of this elite team - the famous SEAL Team 6 (or whatever their true name is). Once again Fern Michaels has put out senseless garbage, though this one might be garbage plus. It did have me going for a while - in suspense wondering when the plot was going to unfold. But in the end, I just cannot give it more than one star. Here are my problems with the book:

Fearless is the story of a man of extremes, whose courage and determination was fueled by faith, family, and the love of a woman. It’s about a man who waged a war against his own worst impulses and persevered to reach the top tier of the US military. Always the first to volunteer for the most dangerous assignments, Adam’s final act of bravery led to the ultimate sacrifice. Gah. The author did an amazing job with Adam Brown's story. I felt like I knew him and everything he went through. I was so PROUD of everything that he overcame.

I was reluctant to begin reading this book because I know Adam's father and brother. By knowing how the story ends, I knew it was going to be very difficult for me to read. Fearless by Eric Blehm is an open and honest biography on Adam Brown, a Navy Seal who gave the ultimate sacrifice for his beloved country. In Adam's own hand, his desire to share his whole life story after his death was his final act of bringing glory to God - his life before Jesus Christ and his wife, Kelley. Adam Brown was living proof that "with God, all things are possible." He lived his faith for all to see.I would say this is basically a man's book. It will appeal mostly to men. However, it behooves all Americans to know this story. And to know the story, the book should be read. Is this "Southern Lady of-a-certain-age" glad she read it? Yes! You see, I had no concept of what our military endured and sacrificed for us until I read it. Now I've had a glimpse into that world.
