Diving into the Deep: A Gripping True Story of Adventure, Risk and Spiritual Quest

by Lowell Lytle, Leslie Turner

A young man turns his back on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fame and fortune to dedicate his life to Christian service, only to find himself experiencing the heights and depths of swashbuckling adventure, Victorian romance, tragic loss and hilarious hijinks that took him literally across the world and both over and under the high seas, teaching him the value of putting one's faith to the test. This Special eBook Edition of Diving into the Deep, released 2020, includes additional photos and one amazing bonus story, The Great Chicago Fire. Are you wading along the shore, safe and secure but longing for an adventure that quickens your heart, sharpens your mind, and shakes your comfort zone to the core? Are you afraid to go "all in" for God, not wanting to let go of something holding you back? Do you fear you are too old or too young, too poor, broken, or weak, too busy, too inadequate, too "something," to take a risk for the sake of the cross? Lowell Lytle, now in his 80s, has faced all of these obstacles and more, yet he is still saying "yes" when God calls him toward daunting challenges. He discovered through a lifetime of daring decisions what can come of leaving the shore behind and "diving into the deep." Who is this giant of faith? How did he survive one shipwreck after another? What pulled him toward adventure, risk, and spiritual quest, and whose love led him safely back to shore? You will be amazed, entertained, and inspired by Lowell's remarkable life; the triumphant rises, the terrible falls, and the redemption that led him late in life to follow an unfathomable and "Titanic" opportunity. Readers say, "I couldn't put it down!" ..".one of the best books I have ever read!" "I felt like I was right there with you on your adventures..." ..".I highly recommend this book to all young people starting out in life...," "very uplifting," "a true inspiration."

We met Lowell (the author) at the Titanic museum in Pigeon Forge, TN. He freaked my daughter out because she thought he was a wax figure… until he moved toward her. 😂 We then talked with him and heard some of his stories.

On our way out of the museum, we just had to buy his book. The book was entertaining and enlightening. Lowell has lived an amazing and adventurous life so far. I really enjoyed reading about his life and how Jesus has worked along the way.
