Adventuresome Soul

Book excerpt: Spencer Nicholl, a self-professed adrenaline junky, was once unaware of the ultimate source of life and adventure. As a result, he continually welcomed risk and the unknown while seeking epic experiences and the subsequent rush the only way he knew how. In a fascinating narrative, Nicholl chronicles his life experiences fueled by a thirst for adventure that placed him on a trajectory that only left him craving more. While detailing his journey through childhood and then from college to the Alaskan bush for a two-year hiatus, Nicholl candidly reveals how his youthful desire for excitement and to fill a great emptiness inside eventually led him on a dangerous brown bear hunt—and to a life-changing revelation that the source of true adventure was in building a relationship with God. While sharing how this revelation changed his direction and moved him beyond North America to embrace many diverse experiences, Nicholl encourages seekers to step into their own adventures, guided by God. “... Story after story of raw adventure guaranteed to reawaken you to something God has hardwired into each one of our souls.” —Doug Pollock, speaker and author of God Space
