Crawford tells us about his life as a physically handicapped man who takes a positive attitude into what the world too often spins as an insurmountable issue. He throws in funny stories that made me chuckle. Not much downside in his life and maybe it is because he didn't experience much downside. If so he has been blessed.

Crawford did cover his faith in one chapter towards the end of the book. I wish he would have spent more of the book on his faith. This was my favorite chapter of the book.

Being a physically handicapped man I could identify with many of the issues he has faced. He grew up with those issues always present while I experienced them later in life. Not sure which is easier.

This is an amazing book. Roger Crawford sent me this book shortly after my son was born. It was something I needed because my son is very much like Roger physically. It's an inspirational book that I would highly recommend.
