Story
The voice that spoke the cosmos into existence is the same voice that parted the Red Sea and made the sun stand still in the midday sky. One day, this voice will make all things new, but it’s also speaking to you now! That voice is God’s, and what we’ve learned from Scripture is that He often speaks in a whisper. Not to make it difficult to hear Him, but to draw us close. Sure, in ancient times and in mysterious ways, God spoke to His people, but is He still speaking now? Mark Batterson certainly believes so. And he wants to introduce you to the seven love languages of God.

Words of Wisdom & Encouragement
I have been listening to Zig for years. Back in the day when I was on the road, his cassette tapes encouraged and inspired me. This book is another Excellent Book. I am grateful for Zig and his family who supported his message of encouragement, wisdom and recognition of God. I was fortunate to meet Zig a few times and have conversation with him. I will miss him but look forward to seeing him in heaven one day.

sermon on trusting in God
Would you listen to Embrace the Struggle again? Why?
Maybe.
Would you recommend Embrace the Struggle to your friends? Why or why not?
Maybe.
What does Zig Ziglar bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
When I first listened to Zig Ziglar the voice was hard to get used to, but I have grown to love him. He just seems so real.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Sermon on trusting in God by Zig Ziglar
Any additional comments?
This book is a sermon and seems to be about glorifying God. While I am not religious, I admire the faith that others have and think there can be benefits to faith. But I couldn't quite get over the story of the Shannon family. The child has a disease that changed him from a normal boy to a very slowly dying boy by first taking away his ability to walk, then taking his ability to do anything over a period of I think 9 years. His family credits this hardship with helping their relationship with God and that this experience will help their other children in their relationship with God. I can't see the good in this or glorifying a God or trusting a God who would allow a child to go through this suffering. I listened to this story three times hoping I would

God Bless Zig Ziglar
I am a long time fan of Zig Ziglar, having first discovered his insight on the art of selling, then discovering that his sales success was not based on sales alone.
If you explore his vast library of books and CDs you'll discover that his success is due to the fact that his faith in God is at the center of every thing he does.
I didn't hear about his 2007 head injury until I found this book yesterday. When I heard the news I was immediately disturbed as if he was a member of my own family because he has touched many of us like a loving father.
I get the audio versions of his books because I am a student of what Zig calls "Dashboard University". I love to learn and open my mind whenever I'm driving, and in the case of Zig's CDs, I love to hear his books in his own voice to hear get the inflection. His delivery is priceless.
In the case of this book, another reason I wanted to get the audio version was I wanted to hear his voice as a way to feel better about his condition. Just hearing his voice made me feel better about his condition. Without understanding the effects of his injury I feared I would no longer hear that distinct voice I have grown to love.
His voice and his message are as inspirational as ever. In some chapters he is joined by some of his family members, who share additional insights about the aftermath of his injury in their own words. Unlike the printed version, the audio version also gives us addition insight as to their emotional state because Zig and Julie are not afraid to cry as they read some of the more painful memories. I couldn't help but cry along with them and I'm glad they didn't edit those moments from the recordings because it shows us they are human too.
We all face struggles at some point in our lives and this book helps inspire us to find ways to live and even "Embrace the Struggle". Sometimes those struggles lead to unimaginably great things that God has in store for us or those around us.

Zig at his persuasive best
That is how Raymond Reddington describes this book as he gives it to his arsonist along with his retainer fee. He goes on to say Zig helped him quit smoking and taught him to aim below the neck. I never would have thought it would take a recommendation from a TV character on The Blacklist but it did. I have had this one in my queue to read and listen to for years and now I have. I am glad I did.
Zig shows once again that he lives what he teaches and the stories, his, his family and others included here will move and inspire you. Don't procrastinate like I did. Get it today!

family and religion during personal tragedy
A family accounting of Mr. Ziglar's personal tragic brain injury and how family and religion have been his solace. Some case histories of others' misfortunes presented as well.
Nothing like his earlier superb works because of his brain injury and its related disabilities.
