Reviewing UNSTOPPABLE by Nick Vujicic

Reviewing UNSTOPPABLE by Nick Vujicic This is the second book I have read by this young man, and it is heart-stirring and remarkable as was the first one. There is a set of photos in it, ending with a beautiful pix of he and his wife. One of the insightful messages he gives is about humility. He tells that when he was younger he did not like to ask anyone for help, and then relates how he was able to overcome this, letting the reader know it is something we all can struggle with. He says he once heard a father tell his son, a recent college graduate how to approach his new job: "Don't try to show them what you know, instead, show them how much you want to learn." That is advice for us all. I am sure many will pick this book up who are struggling with the issues of 'life' and 'love'. Nick has great advice on that as well. One of the many things he says is that God didn't want him to discover his true love until he was mature enough to appreciate and nurture it. Just think, if everyone did that, how much heartache and disappointment would be avoided! The book is full of helps for those being bullied or who are bullies. I liked his statement that he is 'armless, not harmless' ... and I was appalled how some of the youth bullied him. Parents, counselors, teachers, monitors all need to be more aware of what is going on with our youth. Where has morality, kindness, courtesy and respect gone? We need to all step up and be aware and do something. There is also a lot of mention of suicide with tips on spotting those in danger of committing it, as well as helps for those who are cutting or leaning in that direction. Nick has a great sense of humor, and he will keep you smiling as you wipe away the tears. His comments about marriage and commitment will do that; he says that when you commit to a loving relationship with someone, you surrender many things... selfishness, self-centered behavior... and the remote for the TV. Here are some clips for the book: Excerpt: Chapter 3-How Nick met his wife Life Without Limbs Website Trailer Facebook Twitter More Info Read Chapter One Author Bio I received this book from Blogging for Books for review, and highly recommend this book to everyone.
