Life Without Limits by Nick Vujicic

Many curious people have probably viewed the popular You Tube videos online or watched a Discovery health documentary about Nick Vujicic, known as the man born without arms and legs.  Yet there is much more to Nick than his severe disability.  What many probably do not know about Nick, is that he is perhaps among the most  inspirational motivational speakers there is.  Gifted with inisght and empathy, his trials with his disability have been turned around and used as a gift to motivate and help others. He explains on page one that he found happiness when he learned that despite his imperfections and disability, that he is perfect in God's eyes and that he is part of God's creation "designed according to His plan".  He percieves himself as enabled instead of disabled, counting himself blessed admist a world where many experience all kinds of pain and suffering.   His book new 238 page, Life Without Limits, published by Doubleday publishers,  harnesses Nick's gift of empowerment to motivate the reader no matter what challanges he may face in life. He does not spend time feeling sorry for himself.  Quite the contrary, he actually counts himself as blessed and emmpowered, feeling thankful for his life.  In his book, Nick speaks to the reader personally, as if addressing the reader one to one: "I can't know exactly what your burden is, nor do I pretend that I've ever been through a similar crisis....You may not be able to see a bright light at the end of your own dark tunnel right now, but know that my parents could not have envisioned what a wonderful life I would have one day." page 14.  He acknowledges the validity of those who suffer and does not minimize the pain others may be going through- knowing that there are those who suffer from a host of many issues: personal, physical, emotional and financial. There is no life that is insignificant, when Nick claims that God uses his impediments for God's glory and that God intentionally led him to help another familiy whose little boy was also born without arms and legs. This book is sure to give the reader an inspirational boost no matter what his or her circumstances may be.  Included in this book is an insert of color photographs and a chapter of additional resources.  It is ironic that a man without arms and legs, is perhaps among the most dignified, well adjusted individuals, with the god given gift of empathy and inspiration.  As a blogger for Water Book publishers I recieved a copy of this book for the purposes of review.  The opinions expressed are my own.
