This is the biography of a person, David Ring, born in 1953 with cerebral palsy after sitting in the delivery room supposed to be dead but not dead. He suffered brain damage resulting in cerebral palsy (but not retardation). His parents divorced. Then his father died of cancer and his mother died of cancer in 1970 leaving him without parents. He was shuttled among his siblings but because of his attitude things did not go well. This is a story of a life changed by faith in Jesus Christ redeeming powers and living with his difficulties as a testimony to God. David went on to be a public speaker, an evangelist. Speaking in public against all odds. David was born and graduated the same years as I did. free book from audiofile sync summer program-2016. ( ) Stories of handicapable individuals rising above the odds to become successful and popular in life have, by now, become cliche. It's hard for any of them to set themselves apart, let alone above, their competition. This one failed to do that in my opinion. Yes, it was an interesting story. It wasn't really motivational however. David had to be dragged kicking and screaming to overcome his obstacles and it's *really* hard to root for a person who starts out as such an asshole douchemonkey. That being said, learning about his *mother's* life was fascinating (and heartbreaking) as were the glimpses we got of the early evolution of special education. 4.5 stars Wow! What an inspirational true story. David had so many reasons to want to give up in life, but he turned it all around. Many of his problems are the kind of things that he has to put up with every single day of his life. If you’re feeling down about your circumstances, read this, and you’ll get over it quickly. This book made me so thankful for the life I have. 4.5 stars Wow! What an inspirational true story. David had so many reasons to want to give up in life, but he turned it all around.

Along with his physical limitations, Ring was orphaned and shuffled from home to home, finally landing in an abusive situation that made him feel unworthy of love and, eventually, unworthy of life.
