Just when society thought that there were no adequate role models, along comes Nick Vujicic. A young man who was born with gargantuan challenges yet celebrates Life with a thankful heart and incredible courage. If we all could emulate the strength and willingness to encourage others like Mr. Vujicic, our lives could be a beacon of God's unfailing love such as his is. In his book, Your Life Without Limits: Living Above Your Circumstances the author proves that nothing can quench the human spirit except ones self. Nick Vujicic shares his testimony of how he was not born with any limbs (arms or legs) and how he wants to acheive some type of normalcy. He struggles with not wanting to be a burden to others and prays to find his place. He also shares his fight with suicide which would befall any of us had we been in his position. His prayers are answered as he discovers hope in his maker and he begins to take challenges and overcompensate with what he can acheive to overcome his impediment. In time, Nick is defying all the odds as he learns that he can gain victory. His amazing journey will inspire all who read it. The author successfully gives all a recipe to follow to overcome any obstacle they may be facing and how to retain hope and joy through suffering. His story is number one in my best books of 2012. I have been given the wonderful opportunity to examine his biography for Walterbrook Multnomah Blog Program in exchange for my review. Please enjoy the trailer of this best seller below and than get on the bandwagon and obtain your own copy!

Bobby Richardson ~ World Series MVP
World Series MVP for the New York Yankee's "Bobbie Richardson" was not just an outstanding baseball player. In his book "Impact Player Leaving a Lasting Legacy on & off the Field" the reader will discover what his first priority was in life. Mr. Richardson remained a humble individual while playing baseball but his first love was his faith in God. He was a man devoted to much prayer and demonstrating Christian qualities. He was never embarrassed to talk about the goodness of God. Though he was fortunate enough to play along with Yogi Berra; Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris these things never swayed him from his life long purpose. Even when starting his relationship with his wife, he had these important words inscribed in stone, '"Only one life, it will soon be past. Only a life for Christ will last."' This autobiography which was supplied to me by the Tyndale Network in exchange for my honest review has proven to be such a blessing. It would make a great gift for husband, sons and grandsons so keep in mind with the Holidays coming up around the corner. Bobbie Richardson's history raises warm feelings within me. When I was growing up, many a sports team player could be looked upon as a role model and Author Richardson can be revered in the same way. He is a true mentor who encourages the readers to be grateful in everything.and to stay focused on your goals. '"Bobby Richardson Impact Player A Memoir-Leaving a Lasting Legacy On & Off The Field"' is a work of excellence worth reading!
