Life Without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life is a book that I could not wait to read. I heard about Nick and his ministry a few years ago and got the chance to hear him speak two years ago at the Catalyst West Coast conference. Nick truly is a guy that is living a ridiculously good life. His story is absolutely inspiring. Throughout the pages of this book, Nick shares openly about his life. What I love about this book is how personal it is, yet at the same time it's not new information. Through hearing him speak and knowing about his ministry, what he shares in this book is the same information he shares to those he speaks too. No doubt Nick had and still has a challenging life, but it's how Nick deals with those challenges is what's so inspiring to so many people. Nick says this in the last chapter, "The more I dwelled on my own challenges, the worse I felt, but when I changed my focus to serving the needs of someone else, it lifted my spirits and helped me understand that no one suffers alone." When we focus on ourselves, our challenges, and our disabilities, we are bound by limits, but when we focus on who we are in Christ and the abilities he has given us, the sky's the limit. A great reminder for all of us. One that I need often. Throughout this book, Nick offers "encouragement and guidance about finding your purpose, being hopeful, believing in yourself, maintaining a good attitude, acting with courage, practicing resilience, mastering change, forming empowering relationships, and acting upon opportunities that move you closer to your dreams."Special thanks to WaterBrook Multnomah and Blogging for Books for providing this complimentary book to read and review. You can purchase the book here on amazon.com."I do believe my life has no limits. I want you to feel the same way about your life, no matter what your challenges may be. As we begin our journey together, please take a moment to think about any limitations you've placed on your life or that you've allowed other to place on it. Now think about what it would be like to be free of those limitations. What would your life be if anything were possible?"

I really enjoyed Nick's perspective on God's role in making him... and how God has used his "disability" and turned it into his "abilities". His ability to inspire hundreds of people at once, and how he has changed people's lives is just amazing!!! He talks a lot about what he has seen throughout his travels as a motivational speaker and that joy comes from within us, not from around us.
