Try not to cry, this book is amazing

I read this book for a book report, and I got so into it, that I finished it in a day. I was drawn into Ron's life, and I didn't want to leave! His story was (I know this is really cliche but...) Inspirational. My point of view changed, from that moment. I realized that even if I felt like God's grace wasn't prevalent in my life, it actually was, because God has kept me safe throughout my life. There's multiple reasons that Ron had to go through this ordeal, but I believe that at least one reason was to reach people, people that feel lost or hurt, or like there's no reason to live, becasue Ron's been there, and he's been through that. God bless him, ans I pray that more people will read this book, ans see How God has work great things through this accident. I throughly enjoyed this book though.

Life Is An Attitude A Tragedy Turns to Triumph

I bought this book last year after seeing Ron Heagy on a television program. I was so encouraged when I listened to him that night while hearing him speak. Then I found out about this book. I cannot tell you what a wonderful and inspiring book it is to read. Mr. Heagy really captures your heart when you read all the things he went through after his accident which left him a quadraplegic. After I read the book I passed it to a friend and she read it that night and her husband read it in one sitting! This book will inspire, encourage and challege you in your life. It is a wonderful depiction of his life and hardships and what God has done for him despite everything he has been through and will eventually go through. It is a highly recommended book to read for anyone....young and old. Take time to buy and read this book! You won't regret it and you will want to pass it to every friend you have to read it.

This Book Is Life Changing

Ron Heagy is truly an inspriation! His story goes to show that anything can be accomplished with gods help! Ron lifts spirits from page 1 til the very end!

Outstanding example of overcoming adversity.

Ron Heagy tells his tragedy-to-triumph story in a manner that has the reader engaged in his day-to-day accomplishments. The book flows very fast from the accident that causes his handicap through his rehab and on to living the life of a quadraplegic. Ron's faith in God to get him through tough times and his humerous manner in telling his story, will make every reader cheer him on. What a wonderful, uplifting story!

OUTSTANDING! Couldn't put it down

Ron is an OUTSTANDING example (to readers like me) through all he went through. I'm really not greatly into reading many books, but I couldn't put this one down. I was into it from page 1 all the way to the end. I definetly recommend it to any to read. Especially to people who need encouragement and inspiration.
