Book excerpt: It Doesn’t Take a Perfect Person to Find a Perfect Love Even though he was born without arms or legs, Nick Vujicic created a “ridiculously good life.” But after dating disappointments and a failed relationship, he reached his mid-twenties worried that he would never find a woman to love him and share his life. Then Nick met Kanae and everything changed. But even with undeniable chemistry, they would have to navigate twists and turns worthy of a romantic comedy before becoming "one" in marriage. In Love Without Limits Nick and Kanae tell how they improbably found each other, fell in love, and then fought to overcome skepticism from others about their relationship. Filled with practical insights that will benefit any couple, this inspiring book describes a godly courtship and the early years of the Vujicics’ marriage and parenting journey. Above all, Love Without Limits is an inspiring reminder that when Christ is at the center of a relationship--even with serious challenges--true love will triumph. *** “Despite my optimism about other parts of life, I decided that love in this world had limits after all. I’d become convinced that no woman would want to marry such an obviously imperfect man as me….” As a boy growing up in Australia, Nick Vujicic could not understand why God had allowed him to be born without limbs and if He would ever bring a woman into Nick’s life. On the other side of the world, Kanae Miyahara—a girl growing up in Mexico--saw dysfunction sadly separate her family. She wondered if a loving, lasting marriage was even possible. Later, when Nick realized that God had a purpose for him, his life took on new meaning. But after a long-term relationship ended in heartache, would he ever find someone to marry? Kanae experienced relationships based on superficial attraction, but she longed to find a mate with strong character and faith—a man who would be a godly husband and father. When Nick and Kanae met in the most amazing way, they realized that God—the ultimate Matchmaker-- had used even their discouraging and painful experiences to prepare them for each other…for the love of their life.

Download or read book No Arms No Legs No Problem written by Bob Lujano and published by Write with Grace. This book was released on 2014-12-24 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former Paralympian did the Unthinkable A man cannot choose to be born; he can however, choose to live. After he was abusively raised by the belt, abandoned by his mom, and then struck with a strain of meningitis that required all four limbs to be amputated, nine year old Bob Lujano faced an incredible decision. In a coma clinging to life, Lujano, wrapped like a mummy, sat up. A visitor stood at the end of his bed and gave him the choice to live or go to heaven. To give up and choose heaven would be the easy way out and no-one would blame him. To choose life meant living physically as a quad amputee and emotionally with the scars of rejection, abandonment, and abuse. Others would quite. He kept going. Staring ahead like a zombie, Lujano gave an unthinkable answer: "I don't care what state my body is in. I want to live. I have things to do." His decision was granted. From that day on, he fought and pushed his way into "normal" schools and activities to live a substantive life of independence like everyone else. The National Enquirer called him a "gutsy kid...[who] beats the odds." Larry King said Lujano and his Murderball teammates and co-stars were "inspirational" because they wouldn't trade their disability. Today, Bob does not consider himself to be disabled because he chooses life. Physically, he is able to live, work, drive, date, and cook just like the rest of us; independent without caretakers. Emotionally, he concentrates on gratitude and all the good that life has to offer. This broken family is restored; a legacy of abuse is redeemed to a legacy of championing and protection. In an age where image is everything and people are discounted for the way they look, Lujano crashes stereotypes and demands the reader to live their life with everything they've got: perseverance, love, forgiveness, joy, and peace. This is no woe-is-me story; Lujano chooses gratitude in the fact that he gets to live and he encourages others to do the same. No Arms, No Legs, No Problem is the inspirational memoir of a quad amputee living life on his own terms.

Told with both humor and frankness, Who Says I Can’t? takes readers on Rob’s incredible journey, from his birth to loving parents who wanted to afford him every chance for happiness, to the emotional and physical hurdles he faced while seeking independence, to receiving the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at the ESPY Awards in 2019.

Book excerpt: When a career-ending injury left elite athlete and professional football player Lewis Howes out of work and living on his sister’s couch, he decided he needed to make a change for the better. He started by reaching out to people he admired, searching for mentors, and applying his past coaches’ advice from sports to life off the field.

In The School of Greatness, Howes shares the essential tips and habits he gathered in interviewing “the greats” on his wildly popular podcast of the same name. In discussion with people like Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson and Pencils of Promise CEO Adam Braun, Howes figured out that greatness is unearthed and cultivated from within. The masters of greatness are not successful because they got lucky or are innately more talented, but because they applied specific habits and tools to embrace and overcome adversity in their lives. A framework for personal development, The School of Greatness gives you the tools, knowledge, and actionable resources you need to reach your potential. Howes anchors each chapter with a specific lesson he culled from his greatness “professors” and his own experiences to teach you how to create a vision, develop hustle, and use dedication, mindfulness, joy, and love to reach goals. His lessons and practical exercises prove that anyone is capable of achieving success and that we can all strive for greatness in our everyday lives.
