Me, My Torsk and GOD

The true story of a young man from deep in the South and his desire to serve his country in the Submarine Service of the U. S. Navy. This compelling novel covers a two and one half year span and encompasses his training and service on board the U. S. S. Torsk SS423, now a floating museum in the Inner Harbor of Baltimore, Md. The time is the late fifties. Rock and Roll, Patriotism, and Love of GOD were still in vogue. The young man threw all caution to the wind as he embraced the life of a sailor. He soon found a compelling force was controlling his destiny. It was not what he expected. Frequent flashbacks give a glimpse of his family and his early life. The book builds a scenario of life threatening incidents that brings death as the only outcome, then the hand of GOD miraculously brushes death aside. The love, humor and adventure is told in real life language, fast paced and is honest and true. The climax reveals how GOD'S Plan will work if you work GOD'S plan.
