My first dive was a solo dive in a stone quarry in Indiana. The next few years I got formal training and worked through the ranks to instructor. I worked as a YMCA and PADI instructor in Florida for several years before going to the West coast to train instructors at PADI College. In the mid 80’s I was hired by Werner and Myra Kurn to work as the Director of Training at Ocean Enterprises in San Diego, and trained instructors at Ocean Enterprises in Guantanamo Bay Cuba. I worked as a PADI Instructor examiner for more than 20 years and have more than 5000 dives.

Book excerpt: Do You Have Lift Off? Picture a NASA rocket lifting off, only seconds later to be millions of miles from earth. The force that makes such a feat possible is mind boggling. And it’s only a shadow of the power you have access to every day! It’s the awe-inspiring power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead, and it’s yours simply because God promises it. John Avant takes a breathtaking look at Philippians 3:10–14, your key to living every moment in the same strength Jesus had as He stepped out of the tomb. The path to authentic power is not easy, but it can be experienced even through the darkest times of raw pain. Discover how to live in God’s authentic power as you move toward an incredible future! Open the Floodgates Are you dry? Stuck in a routine? Looking for a boost in a measly cup of java? That’s living small. And it’s not for you. You were meant to live larger than life. To let God’s uncontainable power transform every ounce of who you are. Why? Because when Jesus Christ stepped out of the tomb, He gave you rights to the same power that conquers even death. You can’t see or touch it, earn it or achieve it. But you can live it today. How? Discover John Avant’s warm storytelling style as he unveils the secret to claiming Christ’s incredible power in your life. It’s too consuming, too accessible, too real to ever leave you the same. “John Avant’s Authentic Power reminds us that the greatest energy crisis in America is the result of the underutilized human soul, originally designed to run on high-octane, Holy Spirit–inspired power. Authentic Power teaches us to not just cope but triumph over life’s challenges.” Dan Cathy Owner/president, Chick-fil-A Story Behind the Book “After visiting persecuted churches in Vietnam , Belarus , and the Middle East , I was inspired. I saw something I just do not see today in the average American church—something so strong that the best descriptor is that it’s supernatural. It’s the power that comes from Christ. But I’m amazed that the greatest authentic power I see is wielded by those with the least power in the eyes of this world. Shortly after nearly being killed in the Middle East , I read Philippians 3:10–14 and discovered the words that unveil the secrets of real power. These are the words this book is based upon.” —John Avant From the Trade Paperback edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A reader's delight. a story with nostalgia, history, lost love, suspense and a touch of American Graffiti." Maxine Paetro, New York Times bestselling author "First-time novelist Bob Williams' the Eastside of Town is a cracking good mystery and an even more compelling coming-of-age story. Set in Central Florida in the eventful 1960's, this rapidly paced novel uses the biggest issues of the day-Vietnam, Civil Rights, and the Kennedy assassination as a catalyst in the life of youthful protagonist Tommy Smith. Readers with a taste for mystery and fine fiction will love it." Mary Stanton ( Claudia Bishop ) author of THE BEAUFORT & COMPANY MYSTERIES "Even if you didn't grow up in Central Florida during the 1960's, the Eastside of Town offers a gripping tale of friendship, lost love, coming to terms with coming-of-age...and murder. Bob Williams knows how to tell a tale, but he also knows how to instill a deep sense of place in his writing. Those who remember Orlando as it used to be will enjoy nostalgic references to such favorite old hangouts as Ronnie's Restaurant and the Orlando Youth Center. Along the way, Williams does a masterful job of creating characters who seem like old friends and plotting a story that keeps us riveted until the end." Bob Morris, (Baja Florida, Bahamarama, Jamaica Dead) Five friends who grew up on the eastside of Orlando who experienced fathers returning from WWII, the mysteries of girls, Friday night lights, prom, integration, civil rights, assassinations of President Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr., the draft, and the Vietnam War are reunited when Jackie, the girl who taught all of them about passion and compassion, is brutally murdered. Tommy Smith convinces his friends they need to find out what happened to Jackie. This may not have been a good idea.

Book excerpt: Life should be hard in any dystopia. So imagine yourself inside the body of the 10-year-old Regina Faulkner. The year is 2139. Decades after an untold apocalypse, the United States of America is no longer united. But Regina and her brother Tom still have the best. The rampant devastations and diseases barely affect Vernigan, where outsiders are more likely to be shot at the gates. This city is teeming with synthesized food, purified water and ramshackle homes. So a safe house and a fully belly. But everything changes after the Faulkners are accepted in the Seattle Literacy Program. Like any school, it is a dream for parents. Again like any school, it becomes a surrealistic nightmare instead. Their transport convoy is bared to the teeth and flames, triggering a deafening leadership crisis in Vernigan. Hungry and traumatized, the Faulkners have many reasons to be afraid. No evil bikers in ragged leather patrol these wastes. There are neither green mutants nor decomposing zombies as well. Their fear is realistic, for they need the help from the very communities who Vernigan has shunned for a very long time. Against the background of slavery, harlotry and banditry, Regina falls into the hands of a very powerful mogul, the Shorrosh. Despite experiencing unspeakable savageries including a mass rape, she has a strong reason to cling to life. At the head of the cavalry is her father, a trucker turned mayor. He forms an unlikely alliance with another crime family. This newfound coalition however does not in any way sit well with the President as any cooperation with criminals is treasonous. A political infighting unexpectedly festers into an open rebellion, shattering the shaky stability that binds the republic.
