I saw Shawn Michaels interviewed on the Robison Life Today TV programme and was really impressed with his message and his transformation.

I plan on giving a copy to my son-in-law who is a wrestling fan and unfortunately is not a believer (yet).

I learned a lot about the "Montreal Screwjob" with Brett Hart on page 50 etc.

I also read Dr James Dobson's "Straight Talk to Men" which Michaels recommends.

Shalom,

Michaels writes from the heart. Not what you would typically expect from a wrestler. He explains how he came to know Jesus and how it impacted his career and how he chose to share it in the business.

This is the true story of professional wrestler Shawn Michaels changed life and transformation after he became a follower of Christ.

Shawn's life is really a story of two parts. The life he had before Christ, and after Christ. In his earlier life, he was a popular wrestling star who was so caught up in a self-destructive lifestyle that his health was almost ruined, he paid very little attention to his family, and only thought of himself in all the decisions he made. Wrestling was the only thing that mattered to him. Despite that, his destructive lifestyle was so out of control that he had to leave wrestling. And no one expected that he would ever return.

A different man.

Then his entire life changed. He became a follower of Christ, and his whole existence and outlook underwent a transformation. The second part of his life began. He adopted a new set of priorities, and wrestling was no longer the number one thing in his life. Following God became his first priority, followed by his family. He got off drugs, and really enjoyed spending time with his wife and children.

And then miraculously he got a second chance at wrestling, and came back. But it was a new man that returned to the wrestling ring, with a different set of priorities. This Shawn thought about what his words and actions meant to others, and he made a concerted effort to make amends with people he had hostile relationships with. He is very thankful for how much wrestling allowed him to express his faith. There were challenges keeping his new set of values but he was determined shine the light of God's love in everything he did.

How do you like me now?

Shawn Michaels has lived life two different ways, and will be the first to say that his second way of living has been the best. He is very honest when telling his story and earnestly cares about being a man of God. And he is a very happy man. His story of transformation is encouraging and enlightening. This 5-star book will appeal to all wrestling fans, and those who enjoy a true story of a changed life.

The story of Shawn Michaels, retired WWE wrestler tells the story of his career and faith in GOD. This is for those that love wrestling and want to know about his faith background. I am not a wrestling fan, but was intrigued to read about his faith and how he used GOD to help him through his daily walk in life. I found this book to be short and felt I needed to read his first book in order to really get the feeling of how GOD had changed his life.

If you are a wrestling fan you will appreciate this story. However, I am not and couldn't quite relate to some of the chapters of the people he was talking about. I could relate to his descriptions of how his faith and GOD works in your life. This is a book for the men in your life, I don't think my female friends would enjoy it that much. I give Shawn credit for being honest, open and pray that his effort will reach those that do not have a relationship with JESUS.
