A New York Times best seller. Millions of people worldwide know Chuck Norris as the star of more than twenty motion pictures, a martial arts expert, and the only man in the Western Hemisphere to hold an eighth degree Black Belt Grand Master in Tae Kwon Do. Countless others see him daily in syndicated reruns as the hero of the longest running CBS series to date, â??Walker, Texas Ranger." What many don't know is that Chuck Norris is a sincere Christianâ??a man whose faith plays a role in everything he does. Against All Odds is the inspirational story of how Norris overcame abject poverty from childhood, the effects of his father's alcoholism and desertion of the family, and his own shyness and lack of strength and ability early in his life. Norris writes candidly about the past and gives God full credit for where he is today… (plus d'informations)

Excellent book. Easy to read. Chuck tells his life story and how his faith and conservative values are very important to him. ( )

Interesting story of his lifelong involvement in martial arts. Some aspects I didn't understand, such as his occasional mention of how his Christain faith was important yet he would make choices and had a lifestyle that contradicted what I would expect from such. Or that it took so long for him to actually do anything to help all the kids he was sure could be helped by martial arts...and even when he did, it sounded like he was more the manager of various centers rather than engaging the kids themselves. I could care less about the time in his life when he was an actor, though I get that for some people that would be an engaging part of his story.
This came as part of an audiocollection; I would not have picked it up otherwise. However, it was mostly interestingly told, so I don't regret the time spend listening. ( )

I really enjoyed this inspirational autobiography by Chuck Norris. It was an open account of his early years, his time in the military, his introduction to martial arts, brining martial arts back to America and opening martial arts schools, the ups and downs of business and his personal life and his faith in Jesus Christ.
Chuck takes ownership of his mistakes in business and personal life and gives an account of how he built a successful martial arts school, only to sell it and see it nearly fail and how he transitioned from this to an acting career. He talks of his charitable work and his own KICKStart foundation. The stories themselves are interesting however Norris interweaves much of the relationships he has with people into them to add to their authenticity and enjoyment. ( )
