Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life

Nick Vujicic is now a motivational speaker and the director of Life Without Limbs, a non-profit organization. Nick found his life’s purpose despite being born without arms or legs. In his book, with the same title as his organization, Life Without Limbs, he speaks candidly about his disability and the ups and downs it brought emotionally as a child, teen, and now young adult. Even from the beginning it struck me how he described his mom not holding him at birth.

Nick uses his own experiences to encourage others to love themselves, find purpose, change their attitudes, forgive, have “life guides”, risk, have fun and give. At first I thought, not another motivational believe in yourself, blah, blah, blah. Although, Life Without Limits is extremely “self-help”, the focus isn’t all self. Nick is very clear that the source of his strength is Christ.

Honestly, this was a difficult book for me to get through. However, I’m not saying I don’t recommend it. It’s just not where I am right now. I have a pre-teen son who has always enjoyed biographical type books and I look forward to him reading it. I think it will encourage him as he faces challenges in his teen years to keep going and overcome.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
