This novel is set in World War II, both in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans-a lot of deep water! It focuses on the patrols of one American submarine, and especially its captain, Christopher McCord. He was reared in a conservative Christian home with a minister father and a brother who was a conscientious objector. Chris chose the path of a patriotic warrior in the "silent service" in the middle of the greatest conflict in human history. This choice brought conflict among family members, the constant threat of instant death, and the temptation to abandon religious faith commitments. While bringing back to life the agony of a world at war, with vivid battle scenes and millions of desperate men and women, the primary intent is to follow the complex faith journey of the captain of the Barracuda-before, during, and after the war. He left home rebelling from the restrictions and hypocrisy of many religious people, only to encounter in the most tragic of circumstances the perennial questions of life that can affirm or destroy one's religious faith. He had to choose. The themes of this novel are so timely-war, peace, the search for meaningful community, personal integrity, the meaning of "family," and religious faith under stress. The setting of the 1940s was chosen partly to avoid making a particular political statement on the current scene. Even so, current relevance is seen easily. The recent presidential election in the United States, the debate over same-sex marriage, racial injustice, and growing religious pluralism highlight dramatically the contemporary mixing of patriotism, the waging of "just" wars, the hunger for peace, confusion over what is right, the need for and maybe the dangers of tolerance, and the struggle to maintain a traditional Christian faith.This is not the most comfortable of journeys. Sometimes questions get raised faster than answers can be found. Deep water is a mysterious, marvelous, and deadly place. It is the stuff of real life. Uncomfortable or not, you are invited to come along. It's a trip worth the ticket!

Editing and Hockey Research Would Have Made This Better
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
A bit of editing and research needed here. Maybe I’m just a hockey fan, but if you’re going to use actual NHL teams as opponents, please make sure you use actual NHL teams and not NBA team names. At the beginning of chapter 24, they play the “Philadelphia 76ers” which is NOT Philly’s NHL team. That’s an insult to Gritty and the Flyers, Philly’s actual NHL team. Honestly, if you’re going to use a fictional NHL team, them just make all the opponent teams fictional too. Additionally, I believe that trainers have an entire area to themselves, not just an office with one or two tables. June wouldn’t have to go through the locker room to tear the players; more likely she has her own space and office area. war the workout and recovery areas.

So So Amazing
Format: Kindle
I received this book wiht the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review. In this book we meet June Wilder, Rhett Lawson, Cole Thibault, & Elias Nystrom. When this book opens we find that June has just joined the Atlanta Reapers as their new physical trainer. From the moment she starts she knows that she is going to get push back but there is something about not only this team but these guys that have become more to her than she thought when she first started. Rhett is the kind of guy who make a joke with anyone. One night when something happens with June he realizes there is something more than just jokes with her. Cole has been compartmentalized his life for years now. With the addition of June to the team he finds himself finding a person who understands his compartments and lets him be him. Elias is a man who is a an island. When he learns that opening up to one person who sees him allows him to grow and heal in many ways. Can they all find a HEA or will their positions make that impossible? Another amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Good spicy campy hockey
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed the character development. Reading about their growth and dealing with individual issues made good entertainment. Some surprising twists that made the book even better. Really glad we didn't have to go down the angst road where the public got to damage the budding relationships.

Great read!
Format: Kindle
Wonderful characters with great humor, a bit of mystery and a strong silent grumpy Sentinel to stand with the leading lady. They make her stronger but she also makes them stronger. I love the dynamics and the way it played out. This was a fun read!. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
