Review
Many people face situations in their life that they feel are impossible to overcome. This may be a health issue, family issue, loss of job, etc... When people are faced with these tough situations, it is hard to think towards the future and not to dwell on the past. McDaniel's book talks about how to overcome these setbacks. He uses scriptures and stories as examples. These examples show that even if you may think your life is over, it is possible to move on and even become a better person because of what you have faced.
I was not overly impressed by this book. It was an easy and quick read, but it was not something I would probably read again. I do not watch sports or play sports (except for dance, which many people do not think is a sport, but I will spare you my lecture). Many of his examples of people overcoming setbacks involved athletes. Because I am not a sports fan these did not excite me. I didn't even know half of the people or events he was talking about. My favorite part of the book was the very end, where McDaniel listed his top ten greatest setbacks. It was interesting to read how different people overcame setbacks in their lives. I also really liked McDaniel's use of scripture. I am a Christian so I like the encouragement to look to the Bible to help you overcome what you are facing.Overall, I would not read this again,but I suggest this for people who are struggling with setbacks. I think that for sports fans this would be a great book to read!
Happy Reading!
