Life of purpose, Man of Service: A biography of Cecil Erwin Waite

Facing insurmountable odds of survival on a destroyer caught in a 100 foot typhoon in the South Pacific during World War II, Life of Purpose, Man of Service tells the story of a man, who not only survived, but thrived. Cecil Erwin Waite learned first- hand how take difficult, unbearable situations and turn them into blessings. When their first-born child wasn’t expected to live through the night, they prayed. Through their faith, their young son also became a survivor and continues to thrive to this day. As he faced obstacles throughout his life, Erwin learned at a young age that things worthwhile don’t come easily. He also found that in midst of trials and tribulations, there was always a greater power from above whom he could always rely on during life’s deepest, darkest moments when all would seem lost. He knew his life had purpose and that serving others made that purpose that much greater.
