Review
Nick Vujicic, a young evangelist and world-wide motivational speaker’s new release “Unstoppable,” arrives in book stores October 2nd. In his second book Nick shares how he combined action with the “power of faith,” for what he says is a “ridiculously good life, despite his disabilities.”
Despite being born without arms or legs, Nick’s challenges have not kept him from enjoying great adventures.
However, it wasn’t always like that for Nick. As a young boy he felt so alone, devastated and without purpose he entertained thoughts of suicide. He thought no one else “hurt like he did…faced such insurmountable problems…or was bullied as much…” and he was right, for few are born without arms and legs as he was. Although his parents loved and cared for him Nick couldn’t see a future for himself. He looked on his “lack of limbs as proof that God didn’t love him.”
Then Nick’s perspective changed. In his teens he foundChrist and learned God did love him, that He hadn’t made him without arms and legs to “punish” him. Instead, he came to realize God doesn’t make mistakes. “…He always has a plan…” for everyone, even for him.
Through mounting faith, growing confidence Nick learned to persevere in spite of daunting obstacles. Then with his parent’s encouragement Nick began to “reach out to fellow students…trusting they would accept him.” Students were not only inspired by what he said and did “…some even thought he was funny,” and Nick gained needed self-assurance.
From there Nick began to soar. He laid aside his fears and insecurities to emphasize what he calls “doing instead of stewing…focusing on solutions, not problems.” In so doing he “walked the talk,” that would soon “…inspire and encourage others… with his message of faith, hope and love…”
His journey of faith continues to unfold in ways Nick never dreamed possible. From learning to use his “flipper” to do things most do with their hands and feet, to using a surf board, playing volley ball, basketball and making YouTube videos that encourage others. In addition to delivering inspirational messages to over four million people worldwide and marrying his beautiful wife Kanae in 2010, in spite of being less than what he called “…the standard issue Prince Charming.”
Nick’s inspirational story of faith and perseverance has something for everyone, regardless of the trial or challenge. Although he “…credits his success to the power that’s unleashed when faith takes action,” his powerful story, written with humor and raw honesty, reveals why Nick is one of the most sought after motivational speakers and evangelists in the world today for children, youth and adults.
If your spirits are low and need a lift, read Nick’s story, see his joy in the Lord and your life will never be the same.
Being UNSTOPPABLE is about BELIEVING & ACHIEVING.
It’s about having faith in yourself, your talents and your purpose
and, most of all, in God’s great love and His divine plan for your life.
Millions around the world recognize the smiling face and inspirational message of Nick Vujicic. Despite being born without arms or legs, Nick’s challenges have not kept him from enjoying great adventures, a fulfilling and meaningful career, and loving relationships. Nick has overcome trials and hardships by focusing on the promises that he was created for a unique and specific purpose, that his life has value and is a gift to others, and that no matter the despair and hard times in life, God is always present. Nick credits his success in life to the power that is unleashed when faith takes action.
