Limitless: The Power of Hope and Resilience to Overcome Circumstance
by Mallory Weggemann
There's so much I liked about this book, and so much I ... had mixed feelings about.
Being published by a Christian publishing division and initially discovered in the "Christian" genre on NetGalley, I had higher expectations of faith content than I felt were really included here. Many times, Mallory's successes were attributed to herself and her support system--certainly crucial components!--but nothing at all attributed to God. We see a handful of references to prayer and a church wedding and quote of 1 Corinthians 13, but also see living together outside marriage and a few other components that gave this moderate-conservative reader pause.
Those concerns aside, I did feel that Mallory's story is incredible and admirable. She is truly a present-day, real-life example of "grit" (see Angela Duckworth's book titled that) or "growth mindset" (see Carol Dweck's book "Mindset"). It was amazing to read how she just kept rising above setback after setback.
Concerns aside, I do recommend the read.
I received an eARC of the book from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
