Editorial Reviews

Review

"For decades Zig Ziglar has been a champion of positive thinking. On the sixty-ninth anniversary of his twenty-first birthday, he declared he was 'refiring' rather than retiring. And despite a brain injury that's left him with short-term memory loss, he's still fired up. Anyone facing tough circumstances will find comfort and inspiration in Zig's encouraging message." -- Ken Blanchard, coauthor, The One Minute Manager® and Lead Like Jesus

"My mood-swing patients who listen to Ziglar the most do the best. Embrace the Struggle is for everyone who faces challenges, whether medical or from life's stressors. Facing an unpleasant reality with a positive attitude can make all the difference. Zig explains his highly successful approach to traumatic brain injury with courage, common sense, and his usual humor." -- Leland M. Heller, MD

"Zig Ziglar understands life including its struggles and setbacks. If you want to live an abundant life by embracing all that God gives -- read this book written by one of the greatest Christians I've ever known." -- Jack Graham, pastor, Prestonwood Baptist Church

"Zig Ziglar's Embrace the Struggle, written with his daughter Julie, is timely reading for me. As my wife and I grow older we know we will have to leave our home, where we have lived for over fifty years. But with Zig's guidance we can Embrace our Struggle with energy and with hope." -- John Sherrill, roving editor, Guideposts magazine

"Zig has one more valuable lesson to teach each of us. Living in the moment, right now, with the people you love and for a cause you believe in -- this is what matters. He is an inspiration and a national treasure, and each of us is better off because Zig Ziglar cares about making the world a better place." -- Seth Godin, author, Tribes

Product Description

One of the leading stars in the "positive thinking" movement, Zig Ziglar has made a career out of telling people how to have a positive attitude, no matter what their circumstances are. But when a fall down a stairway onto a marble floor leaves him with a head injury, he is challenged with how to put the principles he'd been speaking about into practice. Ziglar's willingness to be transparent has him back writing and speaking with renewed energy before audiences in the tens of thousands to show that life on life's terms is still well worth living. Embrace the Struggle affirms the validity of the principles Ziglar has held true his entire life and includes not only his account of living positively through difficult circumstances; it also includes heartwarming stories of real people who encouraged him with how they put into practice these vital principles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zig Ziglar has given us a timeless gift in EMBRACE THE STRUGGLE, October 31, 2009
EMBRACE THE STRUGGLE is a most empowering, comforting book! I read it in an afternoon, re-read parts and highlighted quotes to use in the days ahead.

Zig and his daughter, Julie, have written a message which speaks to anyone who is struggling in some way - and who isn't? We can allow events in our lives to overwhelm us, or we can embrace the issue and let God lead us forward. The author's honesty about his head injury and the problems and blessings it has created in his life is a wonderful example for us all. The included stories of others who have faced struggles - health, finances, relationships, family, spiritual - can make us all see the value of facing life's difficulties and unexpected pitfalls with courage, faith, hope, and humor.

His message is spiritual, powerful, and uplifting. "If we accept that the past is the past, yesterday ended last night, and today is a brand-new day, we can have an attitude of hope."

Read this book and be inspired to "live life on life's terms"!

3.0 out of 5 stars Torn, November 10, 2009
I'm torn. On one hand, Zig Ziglar says nothing about Christian perseverance in 200 pages that I disagree with. On the other hand, what he says is slapped together with the hasty discontinuity of Lego blocks. This is his first book since he fell and injured his head two years ago, permanently changing his life. His story is inspirational, but it's also really, really long, and held together with little besides good will.

Ziglar is famed for inspirational talks on salesmanship and Christianity. In a way, for him these go hand in hand, since to be Christian is to sell Christ's message. And boy, does he ever. Helped by his eldest daughter and longtime editor, Ziglar uses his own triumph in the face of traumatic brain injury as a springboard into a motivating series of chapters on how to own your adversity and become a better Christian.

But Ziglar ties these chapters together with only the flimsiest of threads. Each chapter is driven by his or someone else's story of victory against long odds, but often, that's all it is, stories. These tales feel like a long string of altar-call testimonies. I'm glad people beat back addiction, injury, grief, marital strife, and other calamities. But if I wanted everyone to regale me with triumph over tragedy, I'd go listen in on an AA meeting.

Ziglar offers up some motivating Christian witness. But I have a hard time thinking that it's likely to change anybody's mind. I suspect that, if you begin reading with a strong faith in Christ, you'll finish up by praising His name, but if you don't, you won't. Perhaps this book will provide the right reader a much-needed kick in the pants, but I'm afraid it left me cold.

2.0 out of 5 stars Book of Redundancy, December 26, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The beginning chapter gave me the impression this was going to be a book typical of Zig Zigler inspiration. Oh how I was disappointed, and bored! Redundant testimonials after another, in rapid fire. I only made it through listening to the end because I was waiting for the insightful inspirational wittiness of Zig, I am so use to, to start flowing.

I actually was sad listening to him. Move on Zig. Your legacy is well cemented in place for all time. It won't be quitting but rather stepping aside with dignity.
