Start your review of Unstoppable: The Incredible Power of Faith in Action

Unstoppable is the sort of book that's hard to review. It's tempting to just say, "You really need to go read this book," and leave it at that, trusting the book to speak for itself. But of course, the point of a review is to encourage the reader to try the book in the first place, and after that, it's always up to the story.

The trouble I have with many non-fiction inspirational books is their tendency to offer formulas or blueprints for how to succeed. And if you disagree with one point, or one

The trouble I have with many non-fiction inspirational books is their tendency to offer formulas or blueprints for how to succeed. And if you disagree with one point, or one step doesn't apply to you, the rest of the information can seem equally invalid. Rather than take this approach, Mr. Vujicic takes a very conversational approach. He tells stories of problems he's faced and questions he's struggled with, and he shares what helped him. At that point, it's up to the reader whether the book is an amazingly inspiring story, or a source of inspiration.

You might think from the cover that the focus of the book is overcoming the obstacle of living without arms and legs, but most of book focused on much more mundane issues. Handling failure, overcoming depressions, coping with bullying, dealing with financial trouble, and falling in love are just a few, and Mr. Vujicic weave his own stories through the big picture issues with humor and humility. His constant conclusion that the answers lay with God and a relationship with Him never came across as trite. Rather, they seemed a gift.

Some people possess the rare ability to make themselves completely vulnerable to others. Telling stories about their lives and their trials isn't egoistical, it is an offering. It gives us a chance to learn from them and since they have no way of knowing what God can use, they give it all. One person might take comfort in the fact that another person has overcome childhood bullying. Another might be consoled that moments of doubt aren't signs of a weak faith. Mr. Vujicic is one of the people who can extend this grace, and I would encourage you to give Unstoppable a try. You have no idea what might be waiting.

I love reading stories about overcoming adversity.

And that is exactly what Nick Vujicic has done. Born without any arms and legs, Nick could be expected to give up, overwhelmed by the difficulties of life facing someone with such disabilities.

In Unstoppable, Nick describes the power of faith and how it has enabled him to do things he, or anyone else, ever thought possible.

In the book, Vujicic talks about his struggles, from being bullied to thoughts of suicide. he talks about lessons learned, from faith and love to financial difficulties. And he talks about dependence and independence, depending on God more and depending upon himself less.

Here's what I liked about Unstoppable: Nick tells his story, and it is fascinating. He also adds the stories of several people he has met who have overcome tremendous obstacles in their lives, and how they have stayed faithful to God in the process.

On the other hand, though, there were a few things I didn't like about the book. While the content was excellent, Nick's writing style aggravated me. It didn't flow well, and jumped around too much. Some chapters were hard to follow because of this. It seemed, at times, like rambling.

All in all, I enjoyed reading the book. And the points he made in each of his chapters were solid. This is a book I can certainly hand out to teens in my youth ministry who may be struggling. I'm sure it will be encouraging to them, as much of it was to me. I'm sure it will be to you as well.

How do you respond to adversity? What can you to do help yourself respond better? You can leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

Nick Vujicic is a speaker. He speaks to thousands of listeners, reaching their souls, and touching hearts enchained by pain and rejection. He's a writer. His books inspire and embolden believers and non-believers to live a radical life. He's an advocate. He fights for equality, kindness, and compassion. He was born without limbs, but that hasn't deterred him from doing the impossible.

Nick Vujicic is unstoppable. He never lets his physical limitations get in the way of living. He doesn't pursue

Nick Vujicic is unstoppable. He never lets his physical limitations get in the way of living. He doesn't pursue a normal life like everyone else. He seeks out the extraordinary.

His past experiences allow him to connect with almost anyone. Through the pain he's suffered and from the joys he's found, people from diverse cultures who endure struggles are drawn to him. His driven spirit resonates with their needs. They feel it. He understands. He notices them. He gives them hope through his messages of faith.

"All you need is to put your faith, your talents, your education, your knowledge, and your skills out there to benefit others in ways big and small. Even the tiniest acts of kindness can have a ripple effect. Even people who think they have no power to impact the world around them can make a huge difference by joining forces and working together to become the change they desire." - Nick Vujicic

My Thoughts:

Wow! Such a powerful story. From the get-go, Unstoppable pulled me into its pages and immersed me emotionally with Nick's honest and humble writing. It's an easy read, in that, Nick's author voice is smooth and light. But, on the other end, his stories are heavy, filled with harsh realities and pain. The feelings expressed are a rollercoaster of emotions.

I found Nick's heart on his challenges and victories to be eye-opening. The true-life stories he included of the people in his book were heart-rending, but full of grace. These people needed to be heard, and I'm so glad Nick mentioned them. Their stories will impact lives.

Drawing from his own past, Nick offers advice and encouragement to those experiencing bullying, depression, thoughts of suicide, cutting - anyone who's felt left in the shadows. His message for life is simple: love God, serve humanity. If you see someone in pain, help them.

"Too much of our world is about seeking comfort instead of providing it." - Nick Vujicic

This book may move you to cry. It may move you to take action. It may motivate you to face your weaknesses and bring them into the light. It may inspire you to serve your community with an unswerving devotion. It may open your eyes to see those who are afflicted. It may create an unstoppable spirit within your heart. You may be driven to do the impossible!

I was eager to read each and every chapter, so my only qualm about Unstoppable is that it was too short. I wanted it to go on. I know for a fact, I'll be picking up his other books: Life Without Limits, Limitless: Devotions for a Ridiculously Good Life, and Stand Strong: You Can Overcome Bullying. This is by far one of the best inspirational books I've ever read. Highly, highly recommended.

Unstoppable: The Incredible Power of Faith in Action is an inspirational book about dealing with the negative portions of life. Providing guidance for fighting against personal crises, self-destructive thoughts, health/disability concerns, bullying and more. Nick managed to live a meaningful life despite having a disorder that rendered him to be born without four limbs. He reveals how anything is possible if faith is put into action, hence the title Unstoppable.

The main strength of this book is how Nick uses anecdotes from himself, the Bible and the people he interacted with to convey his message. In the book, He shares his own experience with bullies and explains how to not be affected emotionally. He often includes passages and stories from the bible and quote from famous figures like Jesus Christ. One of the people Nick interacted was Rebekah Tolbert, she experienced similar struggles Nick had, keeping her faith up she later started helping others in her non-profit organization. The main weakness would be the writing style and how it is carried out. Looking at other reviews stating some of the book's flaw, I can agree that it felt like the author was preaching.

As for recommendations, I think everybody needs a little inspiration. Personally, I recommend this book to every person out there, especially individuals who struggle with keeping their hopes up. As a student, I often encounter situations that lead to negative thoughts, and an inspirational book like Unstoppable helps me escape from these situations. I'm sure it could help many other students too. I give this four out of five stars.

When he was first born, like many parents they didn't understand why their son had been born without any limbs. But despite what the world would declare that Nick wouldn't be able to do, he is doing! He has learned to surf, skateboard, and swim. His life wasn't without pain and many fears controlled his negative thoughts. He strongly believed that he would be a burden to his family forever and he couldn't make a decent living on his own. He struggled with depression and suicide as a young boy at the age of ten. He wanted to end his life where he wouldn't have to be a burden to his family. He tried to drown himself in his bathtub a few times, but luckily he wasn't able to actually go through with it.

He also feared that his desire to get married and have a family wouldn't ever happen. He felt that because he couldn't hold his wife hand or hug her, no one would want him as a husband. Chapter three went into great detail about how he eventually met his wonderful wife Kanae. And after the book was released, they announced that they are expecting their first child! His story also tells the graphic experiences about him being bullied and the impact it can have on a child.

I would recommend this marvelous book to any readers who are feeling like quitting and giving up on life or love. If you have lost your hope for a better future, this book will benefit you, if you take the messages to heart. Nick's book is about finding your passion, making a difference in the world, putting action behind your faith, believing that you are here for a reason and purpose, that you are loved, that God is going to work everything out for your ultimate good, that God can give the desires of your heart, and so much more!

Chapter three was the chapter that encouraged me the most because I have like many others doubted that God had a special spouse for me to marry and that I would one day have children. I struggled to believe that it was even possible that someone would even want me. I'm twenty-two years old and personally I haven't dated any woman or, in fact, been on a date. And to be honest, dating seriously frightens me and I won't know how to keep the conversation going. I had a difficult time healing from my past disappointments about my failed relationships rejections. I only seemed to attract the type of women that like to play around with hearts and then move on. Often times I believe that others deserve to have that close intimacy in marriage and that's something I won't ever have. I also saw the hard truth that I was jealous of everyone else who was in a blissful relationship and I feared that I would die and never have experienced the love of a woman.

Nick's story about his own failed attempts at relationships deeply encouraged me to keep trying and let God take the lead. I am beginning to realize that to find love I have to never give up on it. I will admit that sometimes I want to and I am guilty of singing Miranda Lambert's hit song, "Kerosene". The verse that I would sing loudly would be: "I'm giving up on love cause love's given up on me". Nick helped open my eyes to the fact that I was the one who is afraid of rejection and of actually finding love. I shielded and protected myself from experiencing happiness and love. I was lonely and I didn't want to face the truth and overcome the fears that I had. Nick's story is a huge encouragement that God will give me the desires of my heart. Nick also reminded me that I wasn't so alone in my feelings, disappointments, pain, and hurts. And whether I stay single or eventually marry I will still be alright. I truly believe that Nick's story will vastly change your life and give you much needed encouragement! By the end of the book, you will realize that you are unstoppable, and you must put action behind your faith.

This book consists of different life stories that Nick has to share to everybody. His motivation to write this book is to inspire those who are struggling in life, or just for those who are thinking of having a better life. This book is laid out in a few different sections, each section focusing on a different point in either his life, or instructions/guidance's on how to live life better. Nick is very religious being an evangelist, he emphasizes on the messages of God or his ideas of why human

It was interesting to read Nick's book after watching a few of his Youtube video's and seeing him on TV. Although I knew that he was a motivational speaker without limbs, I never realized how spiritual, faithful and religious he was until reading this book. At times, as an agnostic/atheist/apatheist reader, it was difficult to take in all that Nick had to say. His message is always related to God and how he gives the power to live life to the fullest; or to be unstoppable.

I found his book both interesting, but also sort of "in the face". The reason why it was probably so "in the face" was because of my worldview and religious standpoint, but I also felt like he emphasized it so much, it seemed unreal. I do understand and appreciate some things that he has to say, such as how we all strive to have a better life, yet when we reflect on our life, we tend to think of only the bad things. I understand how Nick's life has always been tracked on his spirituality and faith, but for those who were just never born that way, I don't see why living your normal life would be any better or worse.

What I got out of this book was what I sort of expected when I read the back cover. Some parts of it was quite difficult to read due to the nature of Nick's religion, but it also gave me good insight on how different people live different lives. Nick considers himself a gift of God and it's hard to disagree with that. Although I do not believe in God or a higher divine being, if that's what Nick says he is, then I completely support his opinion and how he views himself.

I recommend this book to those who want to be inspired by a faithful guy with no limbs, but is able to put a smile on our face no matter what.

Initially I wanted to read the book, because I was really interested in Nick's life. I was so inspired by the impact of his life and conferences around the globe. Last september he was in Mexico and his speech was broadcasted in TV.

Originally posted in angelroman

The main topic of the book is about the "power of faith in action", going beyond our limits, physical or mental. And put into action our words or our beliefs. Nick's faith is well presented on each chapter, you can easily feel how he honors God in everything he does, and writes. His own life is an extreme example of the topic, and I'm sure it's not only inspiring to those with physical disabilities.

Unfortunately there were many things I didn't like about the book. First the long chapter about love and relationships, where Nick shares his love story of how he met his wife Kanae, and his advices on the subject. I'm not sure if it's only me but I found the chapter obviously personal, maybe too much actually. And there's a point where Nick shares his view about his past relationships, which according to him were allowed by God to learn. Let me say I'm not agree with that thought. We were given free will to take our own decisions, good or bad they'll have consequences and only by God's grace we learn from those bad decisions in the future.

The other thing is that half of the book, or more, is filled with personal experiences from other people: tv stars, students, ministry people, etc. They're awesome testimonies about putting faith into action, they're good examples of faith and courage, but then the book itself seems to be more a "collection of" inspiring testimonies than a book written by only one author.

I'm sure that Nick Vujicic's life example will continue to reach more people to give their best in life, and hopefully give themselves to God. But I'm sure he has more personal wisdom to offer from his own life experiences and relationship with God.

Despite a big setback of his life at the time of his birth, when he was born without limbs, he never let this hurdle come into his way to achieve tremendous heights in his life in such a way that most of the normal people do not achieve in their life. It seems as if nothing has been impossible for this spiritual soul.

Unstoppable: The Incredible Power of Faith in Action by Nick Vujicic is a wonderful 256 page inspirational story that was first published in 2012 by WaterBrook Press. It gets you hooked your mind and heart to it the moment you start reading it and soon you build an emotional connect with the flow of words as you move on. It is a light and simple read but immensely powerful in terms of conviction of positive power in the world and within you against all storms of life. The stories are painful as they touch the bleeding portions of life comprising of brutal realities and pains that come through. The stories are powerful enough to make you realize with the harshness of life and get you driven page by page, emotionally.

Our thoughts: Nick Vujicic's story is inspiring. He presents the story of his life in an easy to read format that is engaging and thought provoking. It is amazing to see his determination to not allow physical limitations define who he is. He consistently looks to God for wisdom and direction. His faith that God makes no mistakes is clearly presented as a source of strength and encouragement to try new areas and to influence others.

He chronicles events in his life candidly and presents both the positive and the negative situations that he has had to deal with. There are many interesting events and some surprising twists and turns throughout his life that keep your interest peaked while reading. Most importantly, throughout the whole book is the importance of "Faith in Action". Not only does he live this for his own life but he inspires others to do the same as he goes around the world speaking to groups.

I would strongly encourage anyone to read and be encouraged by the story on Nick's life and by the power of the God that he so faithfully depends on and serves each day. (reviewed by C.Delorge, Librarian)

Another thing that was annoying at toward the beginning is over use of the word I. If this book had been my introduction to Nick, I would have to think he was very prideful. As it is, I think he just over used the word.

This book wasn't all bad. I don't think you can come away from reading about, watching, or listening to; Nick's life without being inspired by his attitude. Choosing to live a full life despite his handicaps is an encouragement to all of us. Reading this makes you realize that there are no excuses for us. We should be out living our lives on fire for God.

I also appreciated his honesty about the ups and downs of his life. Too often people with ministries feel they have to appear perfect, making the rest of us feel like we can never measure up.

Overall this was a fine oen time read and I would be willing to read his other book and see if that one is better.

I received this book from WaterBrook Press in exchange for my honest review. I was under no obligation to write a positive review. The opinions in this review are entirely my own.

I love Nick Vujicic and find his story incredibly inspirational, so I was eager to read his new book, Unstoppable. I finally got the chance when it was released in paperback (I was given a complementary copy by Waterbrook Press in exchange for this honest review). In Unstoppable Nick addresses many issues of our day. The back cover of the book lists: "personal crises; relationship issues; career and job changes; health and disability concerns; self-destructive thoughts, emotions, and addictions; I love Nick Vujicic and find his story incredibly inspirational, so I was eager to read his new book, Unstoppable.

The back cover of the book lists: "personal crises; relationship issues; career and job changes; health and disability concerns; self-destructive thoughts, emotions, and addictions; bullying, persecution, cruelty and intolerance; imbalance in body, mind, heart, and sprit; [and] feeling out of control."

I'd advise readers to choose the chapters that they feel apply to their circumstances and read those first. I didn't use this approach and found myself feeling bogged down in topics that didn't pertain to me. When I got to the chapters that did address issues that I face, I was extremely moved by the wisdom and comfort found in Nick's words. Many of the issues are unique to Nick's target population (youth and young adults) but most of us would readily admit that we've faced one, if not many, of these issues regardless of our age.

Nick didn't disappoint. I am humbled by his sage advice…wisdom beyond his years. He is a shining example of Romans 8:28. All things do work together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. Once again, Nick Vujicic, a man with no arms or legs, has proven that there is no disability too great, no obstacle too insurmountable, no challenge too big, to stop the Lord from accomplishing His purposes in us if we submit to His will for our lives.

I first heard Nick Vujicic's story when I watched his DVD, No Arms, No Legs, No Worries. His testimony, perseverance and faith blew me away. It touched me. Here's a man that most would say has the worst deal in the world, and yet look how he shines for Jesus. And he shines for Him because he walked through all the darkest times and chose to cling to Jesus as his savior rather than curse Him.

He made me look at my life, my walk, and my testimony in a new light and examine my path with a new perspective. I shared the video with everyone I could.

With Nick's new book, Unstoppable, he's back to share more of his testimonies and experiences in life. What touched me a great deal this time around, was how open he was in sharing his darker moments when he struggled with his faith and how Jesus helped him to turn it around. Faith is tested, that's part of life. It's what makes it stronger. No one is immune to that. Even the strongest Christians find themselves questioning things at times. I loved how he used his own bad example as he puts it, to show us a way back and to be stronger when it's past. His words are inspiring, honest, heart wrenching at times; but powerful in a way that will have you taking a deeper look into your own heart. You'll be sailing through the book so that you can share it with everyone around you.

After reading Nick Vujicic's first book, Life Without Limits, I was excited to see if he could possibly add anything to it. His first book was full of encouragement and told of many challenges throughout his astonishing life. It is a remarkable read and I wondered if he could match it. He did.

Unstoppable continues with amazing first-person stories about Nick, including how he met and won his beautiful new wife. It includes lovely color photos. In addition to his own tales, much of this book also includes incredible narratives of the challenges faced by others. There are many surprising, life-changing accounts in this book.

If you've seen Nick's portrayal in The Butterfly Circus, you'll be very interested in co-star, Eduardo Verástegui. His story is extremely inspiring, as are so many others. You'll meet people overcoming addictions, thoughts of suicide, cutting themselves and more. Their poignant stories and Nick's are moving and touching. Then there is little Daniel, who was also born without limbs.

This entire book is inspiring and uplifting. Get it, read it and share it! We were delighted to receive a free copy of Unstoppable by Nick Vujicic in exchange for an honest review. We also recently learned that his wife, Kanae, is pregnant. Ultrasounds show that this baby boy has all his limbs, fingers and toes. God bless this burgeoning family.

Nick Vujicic, a young evangelist and world-wide motivational speaker's new release "Unstoppable," arrives in book stores October 2nd. In his second book Nick shares how he combined action with the "power of faith," for what he says is a "ridiculously good life, despite his disabilities."

However, it wasn't always like that for Nick. As a young boy he felt so alone, devastated and without purpose he entertained thoughts of suicide. He thought no one else "hurt like he did…faced such insurmountable problems...or was bullied as much…" and he was right, for few are born without arms and legs as he was. Although his parents loved and cared for him Nick couldn't see a future for himself. He looked on his "lack of limbs as proof that God didn't love him."

Then Nick's perspective changed. In his teens he found Christ and learned God did love him, that He hadn't made him without arms and legs to "punish" him. Instead, he came to realize God doesn't make mistakes. "…He always has a plan…" for everyone, even for him.

Through mounting faith, growing confidence and a motto his parents taught him—"One day at a time with Christ by our side"—Full Review: http://tinyurl.com/9gr8lc8

Nick's first book, Life Without Limits, is my all time favorite inspirational book. This leads my interest to another book of his, Unstoppable. As I'm an atheist, I felt a bit uncomfortable since almost every paragraph of the book mentions the word God, God's help, pray for God, etc. Duh! Can a human do something without praying? I know the author is Christian, but since he's an author, he should have adjusted the meanings of his inspirational language more worldwide, or I can say religionless, Nick's first book, Life Without Limits, is my all time favorite inspirational book.

Don't get me wrong. I respect all the religions around the world and I also regard Nick as one of the great men I've ever known. If you guys haven't read his first book, you should grab it now. ...more

As much as I admire and respect Nick for the way he has led his life, I had to give up on this book. I didn't like his style of writing, his humor etc just doesn't come through on the page the way it does in his speeches. I also felt like I was being preached to a little more than I am comfortable. I think I was expecting a little more about overcoming adversity and how he did that but it was more like a repeating of "Have faith" over and over.

That's a great book. It is really inspiring and the ideas are great. It gives a real get up and go. In some parts I felt like the author is talking to me in person and this is the best part of the book.

Just one minor point. I was reading Russian translation of it and it had some mistakes which I could see (oh overparticular me, slap me in my face, please).
