Faith in action....according to the author. And yes, there's such thing as a financial crisis, even hitting Life Without Limbs and Attitude is Altitude Headquarters. Still, you can overcome personal crisis, relationship issues, career and job challenges, health and disability concerns, self-destructive thoughts, emotions, and addictions. Get rid of bullies, persecutors, cruelty and intolerance. Seek ye first balance in body, mind, heart and spirit and serve others. Leaders lead the way, followers believe them. And, obviously, Nick Vujicic wants to be a leader, a source of inspiration to others.
Faith in action sounds like a mantra in this book. It leaves me puzzling what exactly is meant. In the real world I discovered there are more complex problems that can't be solved by positive affirmation and re-programming your paradigms, and beliefs system alone. I missed certain human elements. OK, you see an adorable, beautiful girl, like the one dreamt of all of your life. You dare to move, break the ice and start a conversation. Kanae returns your signals. The electricity is powerful.......and now let God enter the stage, give his approval, pray and fast about it.
Note the huge, if not overwhelming amount of "I..." sentences in the book. It's the unstoppable, enthusiastic, energy-driven Nick...alone. Of course, his audience will admire his position, both private and professional despite his physical disabilities. But, what's next to the "Yes, you can!" message?
I loved this book. I love how open Nick was about his struggles and how he was bullied but I think more than anything I love his passion and faith in God. Nick tells us how he has learned to have courage and overcome obstacles by living his faith. He is very opened about his life and how he has learned with God's help that he was made unique so that God could use him in a unique and special way to help others. He is a remarkable person, but not just because he has overcome not having limbs to do just about anything he wants, but he is remarkable to me because of how he loves and follows
God and his beautiful love and faith in God. He doesn't just talk the Faith but he puts his Faith in action, believing and doing. I think one of my favorite quotes from the book is in the introduction when Nick says " Putting faith in action is about believing and achieving. It's about having faith in yourself, your talents, your purpose, and most of all, in God's love and His divine plan for your life." The book is all about how Nick has lived this way and shows us how we can too.
I would encourage you to read this book. It not only tells you about Nick's life and faith but shows you how to put your faith to work also. It has some good points on learning to activate your faith and put it into action with examples of how Nick has done that in his own life. I think this is one book that I would read again and again besides sharing with other. I would give it 5 stars and more.
