A Stunning Follow-Up
You want to know the mark of a good book? When you step away from it, and as you're driving in your car or taking a shower, the content from that book worms its way back into your thoughts. When you're at a decision point in your life, and the sage advice from the book pops back into your head. When you can't help but talk about the latest fantastic book that you're reading even with your friends who don't share your love of reading.I've already had conversations with my friends and family about how thinking good thoughts and having good values is not sufficient; your actions must align with your moral compass. Also about how after you pray to God, you should not just sit there and wait for an answer, but actively seek out anwers. Also about the concept of surrendering your own plans to God's plan, and identifying the distinction between when to fight harder and when to surrender.Nick Vujicic has this incredible influence on my life. He's a total stranger, and yet both this book and the last one transform the way I view my life. His stories and advice influence my perspective. They not only influence my decision making process, but they help me to see the good already existent in my life. They inspire me to achieve more, but also to be joyful and grateful about all that I have already achieved, all the blessings that are already manifest in my life.I am not a Christian. Perhaps I should have said that earlier in the review, but it didn't seem to fit in well until now. I was raised in Christianity, but right now I don't practice any religion. And yet I still get so much out of this book because, well, to grossly oversimplify, his advice is to go through life with a good attitude. Do what you can to help others, appreciate the good you have, make the most of a bad situation, and trust that you will make it through dark times. I believe that is a good attitude for ANYONE to have, regardless of who you think is or isn't watching over, regardless of what you believe happens after you die, and regardless of whether you believe Jesus died for your sins.Now that I've gotten all the gushing out of the way, I will now give a word of caution about this book. Compared to his last book, there are two significant differences that I noticed and didn't particularly like. The first is that Vujicic spends much less time describing his own life and challenges, and much more time telling other people's stories. (The first few chapters are primarily his stories, but as you delve further into the book he talks less about his own life.) Some of the life stories really didn't pull me in the way Nick's life story did. The other difference is that this book has a lot more specific advice on how to deal with a particular issue in life. For instance, there's a section on coping with having a serious disease or bodily defect, one on bullying, and one on coping with loneliness when you're single. A lot of the specific problems he addressed were ones that I'm not dealing with, and while I can appreciate his taking the time to focus on those issues, it did make it slightly harder to relate to his writing at those points.I have gotten so much inspiration out of both this book and his first book, Life Without Limits. I highly recommend both of them.

A Book of Miracles-A BLESSED man
First of all;here is a GOD given miracle to see what a man without limbs can do to help others and to spread the WORD of GOD. In this book ; he shares the formula for how to harness the GOD given authority that CHRIST used and gave it to us. Where CHRIST said we could do miracles even greater than HIM. Nick mentioned many times that we have to put our faith into action and do our spiritual part so GOD will do HIS. We fall short because of our"me-isms" instead of relying on the LORD and trying to do it on our own without HIM. We harbor bitterness,unforgiveness,hatred,anger and want it our way or else. That was my way before I came to CHRIST. Nick uses CHRIST and the HOLY SPIRIT to govern his life and how he accepts it. How else could all of this happen? WE as normal humans fall short and blame others or those we care about for our own short comings and forget who GOD is and what HE has done for us all. I pray that this book will open our hearts and minds so we too can accomplish signs,wonders and miracles. GOD is in control-not us. GOD has blessed this man and his book will bless you-ONLY BELIEVE. Take care and GOD BLESS TED"FORDMAN" EHRHARDT

Nick Vujicic
Nick Vujicic to those of you who have never herd on him is an amazing man from Australia he is an evangelist and motivational speaker born with tetra-amelia syndrome ( Born with no limbs). This book is about his life from begining to end, one that will have you thinking about your own struggles and your own life. Nick has traveled to many places learned many things that even people with all their limbs have never tried. Nick has inspired me in many ways and I read his first book with my E-Reader "Life without limbs" one I too highly recommend reading. Unstoppable would be my favorite of the two being 240 pages long and has pictures of his wife, people he has met, and some of him as a kid. Please check this book out you will not be disapointed, teens, and adults can read this book with no problem and it may even help you in what you yourself have deep in your heart struggling with.

AMAZING!
After reading life without limits two years ago, I just had to read this one! Two years ago I spent my birthday in Borders browsing book, Life without limits was in the front if the store and it caught my attention. Two years later to the day I received a Kindle for my birthday and Unstoppable was the first book I purchased last Monday! It only took a week to read. Being that I also have been physically disabled my whole life, spina Bifida, and now a social worker. Its the best feeling working with them and getting compliments like, I feel like you were a God send or I hate to say thus but I'm also glad you are in a wheelchair, because you get it. This book reaffirmed my faith because I'm too hard on myself! I did relate to nick in a lot of ways. I soul be honored to meet him one day!

Great message! Inspirational and Honest.
Nick is an inspiration. He gives a personal account of his incredible journey. His honesty when discussing all of his doubts and his constant battle against feeling incomplete. Finally coming to the realization that it is all for a purpose and that he is a complete human being not despite, but because of his disability. Great message!

Highly motivating book!
This young man has an incredible spirit of overcoming obstacles in his life, and in sharing his story, he encourages and motivates others in overcoming their struggles. What I love the best about his testimony is that you can see the power of God in his life, and for anyone who does not believe in God, I think this book would cause them to reconsider His reality and His power to change a life. I'm an avid reader and have been most of my adult life - if I could only recommend one book, it would be this one!! Actually, the number one would be the Bible, and this one number two.

An outstanding, must-read book
I have not yet finished reading "Unstoppable: The incredible Power of Faith in Action" but it is very well written and very interesting. This young man is truly amazing, but then he serves an amazing and marvelous God.
