God & Spies: Based on a True Story Top Secret Operation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781075452437)

GOD & SPIES: A Christian book, based on a True Story. Author GM Matheny was a US Navy saturation diver on the nuclear submarine USS Halibut, involved in Operation Ivy Bells. America's most important and most dangerous of the Cold War clandestine operations. If you like espionage, diving, adventure, history, and good old-fashioned American bravado, you will enjoy this book. GOD & SPIES is a firsthand account of America's greatest intelligence coup Operation Ivy Bells was not a onetime intercept of foreign intelligence but an ongoing operation of multiple Soviet military channels. Another reason for the high interest in our operation was the audacious nature in which it was done-with not one person risking his neck but the crews of two US Navy nuclear submarines which rendezvoused in Soviet territorial waters. "How did I end up as a navy diver, in a frigid Siberian sea? After making my dad totally upset, I set out to make him happy. 'Honor thy father' - I struggled with a decision to serve God. 'Lord, I will give my life to you and serve you if you let me make this dive.' But I had the impression God only wanted to know one thing: 'What if I do not let you? Will you serve me anyway?'"
