This weekend I finished reading a really good book by Nick Vujicic called Life Without Limits. He was born without arms or legs but is able to travel around the world speaking to audiences of all sizes about hope and faith. This book was such a positive and uplifting journey through his life that I'm sure I will come back to it again and again.

Throughout the book he uses examples from his own life and those he has come into contact with to show people how by changing your attitude, helping other More...

If you have a choice, listen to the audio version: Nick has a good sense of humor ("Aren't you glad you got the audio, so you can hear me sing!"). I believe it gives a better impression of him as a "regular guy", not some sort of saint.

I noticed the book had been tagged "religious/inspirational" after I'd downloaded it. I thought "well, alright, the story of a limbless guy qualifies as 'inspirational' to me." Early on it's revealed that Nick comes from an evangelical background, becoming an actu More...

Inspirational, gently Christian but equally available to believers and non-believers alike, this book is surely as intriguing as the author/motivational speaker must be in person. Nick Vujicic’s Life without Limits offers encouragement to readers who twist against the goads of a limited life, from the viewpoint of one whose life is lived without either limits or limbs. The cover picture, of a handsome happy young man, smiling, staring straight at the reader, certainly pulls you in. And it’s only More...

Life Without Limits Book Review
Nick Vujicic is an incredibly courageous young man. Born without arms or legs, Nick has turned a negative into a huge positive. In ‘Life Without Limits’, he gets very personal about his struggles.
With emotional detail, he writes of his mother not wanting to hold him as a baby due to his differences. Both devout Christians, his parents knew God had a plan, but it was a difficult plan to bear at first. He chronicles grade school issues including having to defend More...

Life without limits is a great book, it is very inspiring, and makes you understand a better meaning of life, it teaches you many new things, I am very greatfull that i read it. Nick was born without arms or legs but he still manages to live a normal life and is greatfull for it. He is a very happy person, and I think people should look at the ways he sees life. If everyone thought like him, the world and the meaning of life would be almost as perfect.

Nick manages to live a normal life, in on More...

My Review:

I’ve seen him via Youtube on Facebook, but when his book became available, I had to read it! What a powerhouse of a book! Nick Vujicic (Voy-a-chich) shares with us his many years of experience (27 years) and wisdom as he worked through his childhood, teens and early adulthood without arms and legs. For such a young man, he has much to teach us through his trials and his reliance on the Lord.

Some of the attributes he knew he needed include:

A powerful sense of purpose
Hope so strong tha More...

Nick Vujici's book is one of the most inspiring I have ever read, to date. His utter determination and strength to rise above the trials of life are living proof that God is alive and well and at work in the world today. His story is wonderfully told in "Life Without Limits", allowing us a glimpse into Nick's past and the challenges he and his family have faced, but also allowing us to observe the incredible impact he has had on people around the world....and the fun he has had while doing it! M More...

Every once in a while you hear about a person that is TRULY inspiring. Nick Vujicic is one of those people and his story, Life Without Limits, is astonishing.

As you can see in the cover photo, Nick Vujicic (pronounced Voy-a-chich) was born without arms and legs. He does have use of a small left foot, which allows him to accomplish such tasks as driving!

Born in Australia in 1984, Vujicic is an international motivational speaker well-known for inspiring talks as well as being somewhat of a YouTube More...

Excellent story of his life, told by the author. He is a Christian, but the book's focus is more on sharing his life and living wisely and practically within your limitations. His theme is probably 'take responsibility and then take action.' This is just my kind of book. I'm cheering for a guy without arms and legs who says, "Sometimes, through our own doing, we make little problems big by taking them way too seriously." Nick is very positive, yet sensible. He says, "I may not stand tall in a cr More...

Nick Vujicic, author of Life Without Limits, is one of the most upbeat, positive people I’ve ever read about. Where many people in his situation would be mad at God, Nick isn’t bitter, resentful, nor does he feel sorry for himself. He’s a classic example of “taking lemons and making lemonade” out of what others might consider a horrible situation.


Nick was born without arms or legs, yet he accomplishes more in his daily schedule than most of us might accomplish in a week! I was amazed at his ene More...

I got this from the library after seeing the author's inspiring video where he talks to young girls about how beautiful they are and to accept themselves as they are. This man is truly an inspiration. But the book didn't do much for me. Yes, it's motivational and, yes, it is a reminder of what you can do despite all odds. But I found it a bit unsettling that I compare myself to someone with no limbs in order to understand this about myself. I know that seems cruel, but I found it unfair somehow More...

There are no other words to describe how inspiring and uplifting this book is.

In Nick Vujicic's very own biography, he tells a story of how he, being as someone who was unfortunately born without arms and legs, has managed to overcome so many obstacles, struggles and difficulties that were present in his life. All his life as a child, he had thought that life wasn't worth living, that he was a burden to everyone around him and also that he himself was useless, but one thing he hadn't known was More...

Хорошая, добрая книга толкающая на "подвиги" не смотря на все сложности с которыми сталкивается каждый из нас в течение жизни. Местами немного наивная. Но это только потому, что в наших российских реалиях Нику Вуйчичу пришлось бы гораздо сложнее. Гораздо! Все мы знаем как тяжело приходится инвалидам в нашей стране. К сожалению, здесь они не могут вести более или менее полноценную жизнь вовсе не из-за того, что не хотят этого, а из-за того, что общество наше не готово принять людей, отличающихся More...

A inspiring autobiography and motivational tale, a tale that will bring you to tears and make you laugh, a full range of emotions in one amazing book.

What a book! I was sorta surprised about how this book was more than a autobiography, not that it was a bad thing, not at all :) I loved reading about the many things that happened in Nick's life that made him who he is today, and I was so happy to learn that he had gotten married earlier this year, because his book talked a little about how that More...

This was a book club read for me and I was fairly excited as I'd seen Nick interviewed a couple of times and was completely inspired.

Sadly I found the book a little confronting at first. Not because of Nick's story, but because neither myself or any of our book group were expecting the strong religious messages that Nick was promoting. Don't get me wrong I completely respect anyone's religous beliefs and think that for someone to survive crippling injury, loss or birth defects, there needs to b More...

“My name is Nick Vujicic…I am twenty-seven years old. I was born without any limbs, but I am not constrained by my circumstances.” (pg. vii)

I’d seen Nick on various chat shows earlier in the year while he promoted his book and I remember thinking, what a remarkable man. So inspiring, witty and charismatic. I said to my partner, I would really like to read his book. Sure enough, a new edition of Life Without Limits was published in August 2012 and I jumped at the opportunity to read and More...

The next book I read, Life Without Limits, is about Nick Vujicic and how he lives without any limbs. This is a very inspirational book that explains some of his experiences in life and his philosophies about life. This book can help you to realize how amazing your life is even when you think it`s terrible. In this account of his life he explains how he has done many things that most people would think is impossible for someone lacking arms and legs.
There is no movie for this book.

Nick Vujicic is a remarkable human being. I don't think anyone would deny that. I'd never heard of him until I saw the beautiful short film "The Butterfly Circus", which was written for him. He does a lot of motivational speaking and he has a powerful message. This book is a bit like hearing him give that message, woven through with anecdotes from him life, over and over for a couple of hundred pages. There's nothing wrong with it. I just think it would be preferable to hear him speak. I would h More...

God and his family have been a source of strength and happiness throughout his life.

There are two things I want to say about Life Without Limits. One is positive, the other one not so much.

1. It was extremely inspirational
2. It was extremely long

I’ll talk about number one first because... well, it’s number one. Duh. I cannot count how many times an experience or phrase or perspective Nick included that was awe inspiring. Seriously. I cannot. I don’t have enough fingers.

When I first started, all I could feel was sorry about Nick’s condition. He was born without legs or arms a More...

I really enjoyed Nick's book "Life Without Limits". His perspective on life, despite setbacks, failures and other disabilities, is absolutely refreshing and incredibly challenging. His positive spin seems somewhat strange at times - our world is so quick to complain, judge or feel sorry for our circumstances, rather than turning the other cheek, forgiving and finding hope in every outcome.

There was so much to grasp, learn and remember from this book that I am sure it will have to be a re-read fo More...

"Life Without Limits" by Nick Vujicic is an amazing and encouraging memoir. Imagine yourself being born without arms. It would be a ridiculously hard thing to overcome. Now imagine yourself without arms or legs. Kinda hard isn’t it? I never really thought about what this would be like till I read Nick’s story. Life Without Limits isn’t really a book for people who like a continuing story, but it’s more of a series of inspirational events that have occurred in his life that really have some gre More...

Life Without Limits" by Nick Vujicic is an amazing and encouraging memoir. Nick was born without arms and legs and had still lives an unlimited life. He has become a motivational speaker and has traveled to other countries sharing his thoughts and lessons about God and His goodness. Nick admits that there were times in his life when he did not want to continue living as he is, but he shares how he overcame that experience and learned to move on. We may sit an complain that our body part don’t wo More...

This is not my first "inspiration to a great life" book I've read. Nor will it be the last. I know my boyfriend will read this and laugh if I say that I already handle my life pretty well (considering I have broken down crying of exhaustion and depression in front of him like five billion times) but the truth is, i do enjoy my life. I don't need Nick Vujicic to tell me that. What I want him to tell is his story.

In that case, I loved this book. I was afraid the focus would be more on us as reader More...

It is hard to finish this book without being inspired by Nicks amazing story. Born without arms or legs, just two small malformed feet, he has managed to form a career as a motivational speaker, travelling around the world to share his story.

Throughout the book, he uses many examples of positive thinking that have helped him and others get through tough times. Even when things are going wrong, there is still a lesson to be learned and a different opportunity can come through the change in circum More...

If you struggle with depression, disabilities, low self-esteem, lack of motivation or any of the difficulties life throws at humans, you can be motivated by reading this book.

The first time I heard about this guy was through a video that I saw a long time ago, so when I saw this book at the bookstore I couldn't wait to read it. He is an amazing and inspirational guy and through this book he helped me see life differently. He shares stories related to the topics that he covers within the book and I found myself struggling to contain my laughter since his anecdotes are quite hysterical considering he has no arms or legs. Plus, he gives his own tips as well as "rules" o More...

This was an awesome book, and is perfect for those who are having a hard time in life and need encouragement. That is exactly what this book has to offer, encouragement! Nick Vujicic was born without arms or legs. Most people would consider this as a disadvantage and would think they are not worth anything, and that they can't make a difference in the world because of it, but Nick is living proof that this isn't true! One of my favorite quotes in his book is were he says that "I'm not disables, More...
