About two or so years ago
I went on the world wide web
to browse for some sort of inspiration,
and this wonderful feature filter
on a truly wonderful website
that unfortunately no longer
exists, made sure that I stumbled upon
this amazing man and this amazing man's
motivational and inspirational message.

He was standing with no arms and no legs
on a small table in front of some boys
and some girls at some school
and gently spoke about Hope,
about Love, about Acceptance of yourself
and others, and how it's not cool
to give up on anything in life.

He immediately had me shed a few tears,
for the way he spoke to those boys and those girls,
brought tears to my eyes.

With no arms and with no legs,
one would think and even believe
that this man has got to be
severely depressed individual,
after all how can one live
with no arms and with no legs, right?

But the truth is completely different,
he's not perfect by any means,
but he has found Love in God's embrace
and he has found love in God's grace,
and he shares God's love and God's grace
he has found with those who need it,
those who deserve it,
and those who
earn it.

He truly is one of a kind individual,
for he's inspired thousands of children,
thousands of students, and probably
thousands of people at school's
he has spoken to to change
the error of their ways,
embrace God's love, God's Grace,
and stop bullying those who
don't deserve to be bullied,
but deserve to be loved.

I find that truly admirable
for he serves God's meaning
and he serves God's purpose
of his life,

and he does that even though
he's got no arms and no legs
with the most powerful part of life
God has gifted him,
the beauty of his beautiful soul,
the beauty of his beautiful heart,
the beauty of his beautiful mind,
and the beauty of his Embrace,
the beauty of his Love,
and the beauty
of his Acceptance.

Before reading this book, I only vaguely knew about Nick Vujicic. I'd heard people mention about what a great speaker he was and, naturally, the fact that he had no arms or legs was always brought to my attention. But that was only quickly glossed over before they began to explain what a great orator he is to thousands, millions even. Nick has written several books: Life Without Limits, Unstoppable, Love Without Limbs, Stand Strong, Limitless a devotional book, and several others. In each, he serves as an inspiration to all of us. In this latest book, Be the Hands and Feet, Nick provides encouragement and ideas on how we can be messengers of the good news of Jesus Christ. How does one start? Sharing faith can be awkward. He shares his own personal experiences and includes common questions brought to him and how he's responded.

Nick's compassionate heart shines through in this book. And he readily recognizes the work of those around him. Those whose ministry is to serve foster children or others who help victims of sex trafficking. He encourages the reader to seek out ways to serve this world, to show the love of Christ, to think outside the box. Attending church is great, but serving the community means leaving the safety of those church walls to help those in need.

Nick not only provides details on his life's journey but also how he pushes through a depression to discover God's love transcends any disability or brokenness. God had a plan for Nick from the very beginning and, as he shares in this book, it's because of his lack of limbs that he's able to approach anyone and share the Gospel. He's courageous in sharing his faith with someone on the street up to a high ranking official. Nick stresses the importance of a personal walk with God, daily prayer with Him, study in His Word and trust in His plan. This book was an interesting look into Nick's life, his struggles, his worries, and his faith. I received a complimentary copy in exchange for my honest opinion. ( )

Wonderful book that explains in great detail, how to be a better Christian and how to use skills to lead others around you to Christ.

Nick Vujicic has conquered his disability of being born without arms or legs. He shows you how to use your abilities to "Become the hands and feet" of God's Word.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this book, would highly recommend to anyone, new believer, non believer, or firm believer.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Waterbrook, I was under no obligation to post a review. ( )
