EMBRACE THE STRUGGLE

Zig Ziglar has been a motivational speaker for many years and I've enjoyed his books and tapes. I was shocked to learn that he had sustained a head injury several years ago at the age of 80. He suffered a fall which has resulted in serious short term memory issues. This latest book describes his challenges to go on in spite of serious health issues. He is able to continue speaking in an interview style with the help of his daughter, Julie. Most touching were the interviews with family members as they describe the changes they have had to deal with as a result of the changes in their father's health. Needless to say, nearly everyone has to face some kind of struggle in their lives and Zig encourages us to do so with an upbeat spirit. This book is filled with quotes from the Bible and stories of many people who have had to deal with various challenges that life has thrown them. Overall, it was very enjoyable and worthwhile.

Rating - A-
