Prepare To Be Inspired!


Book Review: Life Without Limits by Nick Vujicic
Product Details:
Hardcover: 238 pages
Publisher: Doubleday Religion
ISBN: 978-0307589736

Do you want to live a ridiculously good life?  Nick Vujicic lets you in on his secrets. Born in Australia without arms or legs, Nick Vujicic was a rambunctious kid :). Once a bully in school dared him to fight and he won!  He has not allowed his disabilities to limit his abilities. Did you know that he can swim, surf, scuba dive, fish, and play drums?  I sheepishly admit that I can't do any of those.  In this book, Nick shares about his struggles, his triumphs, and his faith in God.  The Lord has been using him as an internationally motivational speaker to share the message of salvation, hope, healing, joy, and life with a purpose, inspite of difficulties. Nick is blessed with the beautiful gifts of inspiring and encouraging others. Nick offers readers encouragement and practical advice regarding purpose, hope, love and self-acceptance, attitudes, courage, resilience, adaptability, relationships, opportunities, risk, and fun.  The book also includes 8 pages of color photographs of Nick Vujicic from his childhood to adulthood.  Nick concludes his book with the call for us to live for God and others by serving, giving, and reaching out to those in need.  He also includes links to various philanthropic websites at the end of the book. Don't you just love his heart?

I've found Nick Vujicic to be such a wonderful inspiration since I first knew about him a few years ago. I was so excited when I had a chance to review this book. Wow...what a gem it is! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it from cover to cover. This book made me laugh out loud several times. Nick is funny and witty. He is also insightful and joyful. Nick is truly a blessing to the world. If you are discouraged or are going through hard times, this book will lift your spirit and warm your heart. With God on your side, life is definitely without limits and you can be an overcomer like Nick! Nick wants us to remember that if he can do it, we can, too :)!
"Live to glorify God, and don't leave an ounce of energy, a trace of your uniqueness, behind. Dare to be ridiculous, and you will be ridiculously happy." ~Nick Vujicic (p.211)

I have not read this book yet but I am familiar with Nic's story as I have watched all the videos. I think it is great that he speaks to young people. This brings disability awareness but more importantly, Jesus awareness!
Happy Spiritual Sunday.

Ah .. Nick is a very special soul that God placed into this world as a light..and he is. I pray many get to view and know him. An inspiration to all.

I'm sure this book is as inspirational as his videos. It's amazing how God can use disabilities like this to encourage and inspire so many. Thank you for sharing this.
Blessings,
Charlotte

Isn't he a blessing! I have shared one of his videos and just recently bought this book. I'm looking forward to sharing it with both grandchildren and some of the special seniors in my life. :) Thanks for sharing this interesting review. (Must be the week for reviews - I have one for one of the newest Kay Arthur books and I noticed someone else has one up too - very cool. :) )

Hi Urailak,

Thank you for sharing a review of this book (Life Without Limits). I watched an interview of Nick Vujicic several months ago and he certainly shares a message of hope and encouragement. If anyone had a reason to complain, the world would nominate Nick, yet he chooses to honor God for his life.

Nick is a positive example for all of us; whether we're Christian or not.

Blessings and peace.

Thank you for introducing me to Nick Vujicic. Your review made me want to read the book. It reminds me of this quote:

"It is ingrained in us that we have to do exceptional things for God--but we do not. We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things of life, and holy on the ordinary streets, among ordinary people..." Oswald Chambers
