I’m a member of the Family Christian Bloggers
and they provided me with a free copy of Wrestling
for My Life” for this review.
In Wrestling for My
Life, Shawn Michaels opened up about his days in being in the WWE and the many
different struggles he went through. He began the book by sharing how he became
addicted to pain pills after suffering from extreme pain from his injuries in
wrestling. He admitted that some days he took up to thirty to thirty-five pills
a day. His wife, Rebecca was a devoted Christian and she was praying that God
will set her husband free. He experienced a wakeup call when his two year old
son, Cameron crawled up on him while he was resting after taking a few pain
pills and said, “Daddy’s tired”. He realized that his son was finally seeing
who is dad really was. He found a local church to attend regularly, “Cornerstone”
(the church where John Hagee is the leading pastor). He began to also attend a Bible
study group with Keith and Priscilla Parker. They poured into his life and
became his mentor and they helped him to grow spiritually in Christ. He finally
turned to Jesus and received salvation. Jesus began to change his life and he
was able to overcome his pain pill addiction.
I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who
enjoys the sport of wrestling and is looking for a book filled with a message
of faith. I liked how Shawn was real throughout the book about his life and how
he shared how God changed his entire life around. I also appreciated how he
stood his ground when he returned to wrestling after retiring a few years ago. My
favorite chapter was the chapter, “Aiming to Please” because he shared about
how God set him free from having to please people and now he only needs to try
and please God. This is critical in running our race and completing God’s
calling on our lives. I liked how the book also contained personal pictures to
give us a glance at his life. This book has the power to influence people for
God’s Kingdom and it’s one definably checking out!
