Unstoppable: The Incredible Power of Faith in Action

Nick Vujicic has an incredible story. Born without arms or legs, he was faced with many challenges growing up. This book serves as a great motivator for anyone who has struggles to overcome in their life. Each chapter deals with a different issue that he has dealt with in some way and can give hope to anyone else who may be dealing with something similar. Some of these topics are relationships, health, bullying, suicide and dealing with things out of our control.

This book would be great to give someone who was dealing
with any of these issues or who felt like they were the only one dealing with a particular issue. The reader must remember that Vujicic is not a licensed therapist or counselor, but he can offer some good advice and help to those in trouble.

I recommend this book for anyone who might be struggling or feeling alone. It is a comfort to know that someone else has been there before and that often times, we just need someone to listen. Although he might not be listening if we are reading his book, it can still offer the comfort we need to get us through the tougher times in our lives. 


If you would like to learn more about Nick Vujicic, click here for a link where you can read more about him and see more of his writings. He will surely be an inspiration to anyone who gives him a chance. 

I received a free copy of Unstoppable from Waterbrook Multnomah in exchange for this review.

All In: Student Edition

All In: Student Edition is a decent read. The basic idea is to discover what it really looks like to go “all in” for God. I think it was a great concept and perhaps the original version might have been better. The tag line of the book is “You are one decision away from a totally different life.” They do a good job dealing with this, but I felt like they were trying too hard to make it a student edition. Many times when a great point would be made, it would be ruined or lost due to a comment probably meant to get a smile out of a teen. I’m fine with writing on a teen’s level, but I felt this book lost a little of its impact because of it. 

They do a good job with the idea of going “all in” for God and the illustrations used are good as well. This is not a book I would use in a group study “as is” but definitely leads to some great ideas for devotionals and other lessons. I wold recommend this book to a young person who wants an easy to read, motivational work to encourage them to do more in their spiritual lives.

    Readings

    I have taken a personal challenge to read a lot this year. Originally I said a book a week. I am averaging a week and a half per book. Not too shabby.
