This is not so much the story of Nick Vujicic’s life, as it is his advice on how to live life. Although he uses bits of his life story to illustrate some of his recommendations, this is a guide to living life abundantly–no matter what cards of life each of us has been dealt.
Who is Nick Vujicic and what gives him the right to give advice about living? For no apparent reason, Nick was born without arms or legs thirty years ago. He has one little partial foot at the end of the trunk of his body, and that is it. Despite what the world would call disadvantages, Nick has used what he has been given physically, along with a deep faith in Christ, and has been quite successful.
He has been all over the globe. Nick has been with the poorest of the poor, as well as, mingling with presidents, actors and actresses, and he has received an invitation to Billy Graham’s home. Nick has surfed in the ocean, parachuted, and skateboarded. He speaks to crowds all over the world, makes television appearances, acted in the movie The Butterfly Circus, and is an author. He is married to a beautiful wife, and they recently had their first child.
Nick has a special heart for those who feel overwhelmed, have been bullied, or even suicidal. He truly understands those feelings because he has been there, too. With God’s help, Nick has been able to come out on the other side, and he wants other sufferers to do that as well. Nick has a non-profit company that he works through to reach out to hurting people everywhere.
Nick’s advice should be listened to because Nick himself seems to be in an impossible situation. Yet he has done more so far in his short life, than many full-limbed people have done in a lifetime. Nick offers sound advice to people, but he starts first by being a follower of Jesus Christ. Everything else he has to say is built on that first step.
I enjoyed Nick’s book and give it five stars. He has interesting, and encouraging things to say. Nick truly has a heart for all people, and cares about bringing happiness to the unhappy. I recommend this book no matter what the faith of the reader. I especially recommend it to anyone who feels they have hit-bottom with nowhere else to go.
