Unstoppable by Nick Vujicic

Vujicic begins this book by explaining his successes following his last book.




He then states how he almost hit rock bottom. This is not the ego-driven writing of some louse. Nick Vujicic knows the power of God and the grace He gives.

You'll breeze through ten chapters on believing and achieving.

It's difficult not to compare this book with the previous book of his. It may be a bit too soon but this is the furthering of the story. As a motivational speaker, Nick touches on personal crises, issues with our relationships, challenges with your career, what it's like to feel out of control and other typical motivational topics.

Using his own stories dispersed throughout the anecdotes and experiences of others he has had contact with, you'll read about having a "ridiculously good life" and what it means to be unstoppable.

The glossy photos in the middle are always a nice touch but I just couldn't plow through this book. It seemed like I had read it before when I read the books by other motivational speakers.

The biggest thing going for this author is his life story and the challenges it brings. Like it or not, we are drawn to his deformity and inspired just by his videos and the kind of life he has chosen to lead.

Life Without Limits by Nick Vujicic

Simply unbelievable. Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs. How incredible is that to try and wrap your brain around? In Life Without Limits, Nick gives us a review of his life and how God is using his circumstances to provide encouragement and inspiration to thousands of people.

With 12 chapters, you'll begin with Nick's parent's reaction to his birth and how shocking it was to have a son with no limbs. You enter into their lives as they struggle to figure out how to provide as normal a life for Nick as they can.

Mixed within his life story, Nick offers general, "God has a plan for you", inspirational thoughts that coincide with whatever stage he's discussing.

The 12 chapters include:

If You Can't Get a Miracle, Become One
No Arms, No Legs, No Limits
Love the Perfectly Imperfect You
Armless But Not Harmless
Don't Let Your Face Plant Grow Roots
The Ridiculous Rules

and others.

In the middle of the book, you'll find full color pictures of Nick beginning when he was 6 months old up to his current age and speaking before a large crowd.

Nick's story is mind boggling. It helps put life in perspective and create a sense of wonder.
