Synopsis
In this positive and practical memoir, John Foppe learns how to not only survive amidst insurmountable odds, but live a full life and inspire others to do the same.
Born without arms, John has faced unique obstacles to living a normal life. But what he's always had is an indomitable faith?a faith that not only gives him the will to survive, but also the will to thrive. With a foreword by Zig Ziglar, John asks the reader hard questions and applies his own experiences as well as the unique insights he's developed. As a trained counselor and motivational speaker, John advises us how to:
- confidently confront adversity
- discover our own dynamic potential
- achieve accomplishment and fulfillment.
As John says, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, "All things are within reach."
"John Foppe's book What's Your Excuse? is an inspiration just like he is for all those who have been touched by him." ?Jimmy Johnson, former NFL coach, Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins
"If you truly want to reach your goals, then you must read What's Your Excuse?" ?Rudy Ruettiger, the inspiration behind the TriStar hit movie Rudy
"Every one of us has survived some type of tragedy. John's story and practical insights help all of us to overcome the challenges in our lives. What's Your Excuse? is not just an inspirational book but a definitive 'how to' guide for triumphing over our problems." ?Dav Pelzer, number one international bestselling author of A Child Called It and Help Yourself
