Ack. A weird blend of Christianity and positivism. Like, I agree Christians can do great things and should take risks, but is that really the emphasis of Christianity? And sure, this is a “self help” book, not theology, and maybe I’m just too cynical, but the concept of God wanting me to succeed and change the world makes me uneasy. Especially having just visited a monastery where their daily conviction is repentance and abandonment of self.
Now I’m not arguing that path is for all Christians. Just that it seemed rather at odds with Vujicic’s approach.
Also, the book is about 50 pages too long.

I don't want to keep reading because I don't see a point in that, I have other real books on my TBR pile. I don't want to say anything bad about the author or the book, but I don't like it's philosophy and that's it. It will be on my 'read' list, because I did read a half and I don't want for that to get wasted.

Aku suka. Aku memang udah mengagumi Nick Vujicic sejak dulu. Waktu keluar bukunya, langsung pengen baca.
Di sini nuansa Kristianinya subtle, jadi buat pembaca yang non-Kristen aku rasa masih akan merasa nyaman. Banyak ceritanya dia yang sebenarnya sedih, tapi dia tulis dengan pembawaan yang membumi, membuat kita yang membaca bukannya mengasihani dia tapi kagum akan kekuatannya.
Tapi banyak pengulangan prosa di beberapa halaman.
Baca buku ini jadi inget lagunya Who Am I - Casting Crows.
God is so good..

I have nothing but respect for this guy and the challenges he's overcome. I just don't much care for motivational speakers' books :-P

I first saw Nick Vujicic on YouTube and was amazed--he is one special guy. His obviously full and meaningful life in spite of his handicaps is a real inspiration. This book is a pretty good, worthwhile read. It does happen to be full of some of the same platitudes and cliches that so many motivational/inspiration books are full of, but it is salvaged by the author's humor and indomitable spirit.
