Synopsis
A New York Times Bestseller
"God has plans for you." It was a message Carlos Ray Norris heard from his mother many times, but no one could have foreseen the extraordinary life he had before him. The baby who was not expected to survive would also overcome poverty, shyness, and an alcoholic father to become a Karate World Champion, a movie and television star, and a great humanitarian. This is his story.

From AudioFile
Fans of Chuck Norris may see him as an action hero in the John Wayne mold, but his autobiography presents a different image of the "Walker, Texas Ranger" star. Norris describes himself as a shy youth who finally blossomed while studying martial arts as a soldier in South Korea. His self-deprecating humor shows through anecdotes about karate defeats, white-knuckled speaking engagements, and his failure to become a Los Angeles policeman, which led to his fame as a karate champion. His life philosophies reveal relentless optimism, usually tempered with pragmatism. Norris's son, Michael, reads with an appropriately upbeat tone, actually sounding a little awkward in places, echoing his father's early shyness.
