The beauty of Unbreakable Spirit rests with the people - those who have encountered darkness and yet have risen above their circumstances. Quite emotional and inspiring stories. Although the format of the book and the sheer volume of stories does dilute the overall impact, these stories are worth telling, and indeed may help others seeking comfort, camaraderie, and inspiration. Well done to those who participated in this anthology for your courage and willingness to let go, move onward, and help those in similar circumstances.

Each chapter in this book gave me strength to live an empowered life. It taught me that everyone's 'rock bottom' can be different, but it's truly not how you fall but how you get back up, and get back up they did! The stories in this book will deepen your own perspective as well as show you that no matter what your circumstance, we're ALL capable of miraculous things.

There are a number of stories of people in this book that faced obstacles or unfortunate events in their life. All are overcommers and their stories are very inspiring. It is well written and easy to read.Chris WodkeAuthor: Running for My Life- Winning for CMT

So many times I've been disappointed with collaborative books, but this one truly was difficult to put down. The stories are brief yet intense, courageous, and boldly revealing. I learned a lot about faith, perseverance, and the power of never giving up. "The Unbreakable Spirit ...Rising Above the Impossible" is a complete inspiration!

Good for inspiring, and easy to read.
