by Chuck Norris
First published 2006
Chuck Norris opens his story in the depths of childhood poverty, where his father's drinking and eventual desertion left the family struggling to survive. The future martial arts champion and actor was once a shy, weak boy who seemed destined for failure. Norris traces his path from those early hardships through his discovery of martial arts, his rise to become the only Western Hemisphere holder of an eighth degree Black Belt Grand Master in Tae Kwon Do, and his eventual success in over twenty films and the long-running CBS series Walker, Texas Ranger. Throughout his journey, Norris credits his Christian faith as the driving force behind every achievement. He writes with unflinching honesty about the obstacles that could have derailed his life and explains how his relationship with God transformed weakness into strength, fear into courage, and despair into hope.
