A must read inspiration book for all ages

This is a review of the book YOUR LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS (10-PK) by Nick vujicic.

This is a great book. I personally like Nick Vujicic for being an amazing inspiration for people all around the world. This book is all about hope and inspiration.
Few things that I liked the most in this book are
- Everything that is done in this earth is done by hope
- I loved the way he describes about the optimism that he was able to see in the faces of the children inspite of loosing their parents. Those children are a great inspiration for anyone who are hopeless and thinks he/she does not have a future. Life is a great journey
- Keep dreaming and start acting, always believe in the best. When we like the best, then we become the best
Nick has an amazing humor which really makes this book a great one. He has gone through the tough realities and he is now able to share his experience with a world which is in need of hope Nick also tells us to be careful about what goes into our mind, because the things that enter our mind determines our action.
Overall, its a great book and has been an inspiration for me.

I got a copy of this book to review from blogging for books.

DROWNED IN TEN INCHES OF WATER

A boy was sitting in a park bench with one hand resting on an open Bible. He was loudly exclaiming his praise to God. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! God is great! he yelled without worrying whether anyone heard him or not.

Shortly after, along came a man who had recently completed some studies at a local University. Feeling himself very enlightened in the ways of truth and very eager to show this enlightenment, he asked the boy about the source of his Joy.

Hey, asked the boy in return with a bright laugh, Don't you have any idea what God is able to do? I just read that God opened up the waves of the Red Sea and led the whole nation of Israel right through the middle.

The enlightened man laughed lightly, sat down next to the boy and began to try to open his eyes to the realities of the miracles of the Bible. That can all be very easily explained. Modern scholarship has shown that the Red Sea in that area was only 10 inches deep at that time. It was no problem for the Israelites to wade across.

The boy was stumped. His eyes wandered from the man back to the Bible lying open in his lap. The man, content that he had enlightened a poor naive young person to the finer points of scientific insight turned to leave.

Scarcely had he taken two steps when the boy began to rejoice and praise louder than before. The man turned to ask the reason for this resumed jubilation.

Wow! Exclaimed the boy happily, God is greater than I thought! Not only did He lead the whole nation of Israel through the Red Sea, He topped it off by drowning the whole Egyptian army in 10 inches of water!

Think Tank - Quotes

Few of my favourite quote of John C. Maxwell:

1) "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."

2) "We cannot become what we need by remaining what we are."

3) "Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it."

4) "You have to live with the people to know their needs, and you have to live with God to know how to solve them."

5) "Happiness simply cannot be relied upon as a measure of success."

God's Blueprint for Your Life

A wonderful quote which I recently read in a book.....

"To this wise God we may safely entrust all concerns, knowing He will manage them all so as to promote His own glory and our real good..."

What a great privilege we have.... To totally trust our Lord... who is the controller of everything...

Isaiah 48:17 - "I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go."

The Father and the Sea

An Amazing Testimony of the Father's Love
=========================================

After a few of the usual Sunday evening hymns, the church's pastor once again slowly stood up, walked over to the pulpit, and gave a very brief introduction of his childhood friend. With that, an elderly man stepped up to the pulpit to speak, "A father, his son, and a friend of his son were sailing off the Pacific Coast," he began, "when a fast approaching storm blocked any attempt to get back to shore. The waves were so high, that even though the father was an experienced sailor, he could not keep the boat upright, and the three were swept into the ocean."

The old man hesitated for a moment, making eye contact with two teenagers who were, for the first time since the service began, looking somewhat interested in his story. He continued, "Grabbing a rescue line, the father had to make the most excruciating decision of his life....to which boy he would throw the other end of the line. He only had seconds to make the decision.

The father knew that his son was a Christian, and he also knew that his son's friend was not. The agony of his decision could not be matched by the torrent of waves. As the father yelled out, 'I love you, son!' he threw the line to his son's friend. By the time he pulled the friend back to the capsized boat, his son had disappeared beyond the raging swells into the black of night. His body was never recovered."

By this time, the two teenagers were sitting straighter in the pew, waiting for the next words to come out of the old man's mouth. "The father," he continued, "knew his son would step into eternity with Jesus, and he could not bear the thought of his son's friend stepping into an eternity without Jesus. Therefore, he sacrificed his son. How great is the love of God that He should do the same for us." With that, the old man turned and sat back down in his chair as silence filled the room.

Within minutes after the service ended, the two teenagers were at the old man's side. "That was a nice story," politely started one of the boys, "but I don't think it was very realistic for a father to give up his son's life in hopes that the other boy would become a Christian."

"Well, you've got a point there," the old man replied, glancing down at his worn Bible. A big smile broadened his narrow face, and he once again looked up at the boys and said, "It sure isn't very realistic, is it? But I'm standing here today to tell you that THAT story gives me a glimpse of what it must have been like for God to give up His Son for me."

"You see....I was that father, and your pastor was my son's friend."
