Rating:  Summary: This book is an unbelievable inspiration to all Review: For anyone who is feeling a down day! This true story will put life into perspective. We don't have it that bad compared to what Ron goes through. Better than "SUPERMANS" story!!!
Rating:  Summary: Incredibly Inspirational. Review: Here's another one of those books by authors who have had a rough life. The theme is the same as most of the books in this category: "If I can do it, you can do it." This book is different. More than a challenge book, this one is a moving, emotional autobiography that will fill your heart with admiration and a desire to do something for others. The movie, Pay It Forward, came to mind several times as I hungrily read page after page. I just didn't want to put the book down. Several times, while reading "Never Give Up!" on an airplane, the emotion welled up strongly enough to bring tears to my eyes and a "catch" in my heart. I have not read many books that grabbed me and held me as this one did. Ron Heagy is a quadriplegic. He's seriously handicapped physically, but powerfully strong spiritually. His love of God was present before his life-changing experience when he was 18 (no, I won't spoil your reading by telling you what happened), but became considerably stronger over the years. Even if you are not a deep believer, you will be impressed by how Ron's faith has made a tremendous difference for him. Today, Ron Heagy makes a difference in the lives of other people as a motivational speaker and a leader in service to the disabled community. As you read about what he has accomplished, as he shares his story, you will be thankful that Ron and others like him are around to influence us. I was inspired by his struggle, but perhaps even more moved by what he has done in spite of potentially overwhelming odds. This autobiography is filled with 39 chapters, an average of seven pages long, each sharing a chapter in the author's life. Co-author Donita Dyer, who helped shape this awesome story into book form, did a masterful job. We are right with Ron, inside his head and his heart, as he moves from one experience to another on a roller-coaster ride of a life. You can't help being thoroughly engaged in this story, as an individual, as a member of society, and as someone who influences the lives of others every day. There are several aspects of this book that will be particularly valuable for corporate executives, teachers, and others who are looked up to because of who they are . . . or should be. Warning: You won't be able to put this book down until you finish it. Then you'll want to give it to someone else close to you to read. This valuable book is priced low enough that it can easily be given as a gift. Buy several copies.

Rating:  Summary: Life Is An Attitude A Tragedy Turns to Triumph Review: 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.

Rating:  Summary: A Wonderful Book! Must READ! Review: I met Ron Haegy several years ago and heard his story as told by him. He is simply amazing. I have looked for this book and not found it in our local stores. I ordered it and got another book by the same title. I am excited to find his book at Amazon.com and I have no doubt that it will be as wonderful as Ron was in person. I recommend this book to everyone.

Rating:  Summary: Try not to cry, this book is amazing Review: 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.
