She spent each day chasing epic highs. When her life hung in the balance, would she finally find true joy by accepting the Lord? Elizabeth Bristol grew up certain something was missing inside. Bouncing from a controlling family to a series of codependent relationships, she attempted to fill the void with drugs, booze, and a long string of adventures. But when a 1990 cross-country trip through Africa ended in tragedy and a broken back, the twenty-six-year-old limped home spiritually bereft. Frustrated by the pressure to get married, have children, and work a conventional job, Elizabeth soon grabbed her backpack and headed off to sea. Yet when the fun-filled Caribbean voyage turned into a life-and-death fight against nature, she cried out with little hope of salvation and was floored when Jesus answered.
