Robbing Mind: How Attitude and Intention Helped Prevent a Fate Worse Than Death (Volume 1)Robbing Mind: How Attitude and Intention Helped Prevent a Fate Worse Than Death by Chuck Collins

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have had the pleasure of reading several books from brain tumor survivors and survivors of critical issues, and every time, I am encouraged by what I read. This book is no exception. I was enthralled to read about the author’s own memories of his medical issues, and it reminded me of the resilience of the body as well as what is truly important in this life. I salute the author for being vulnerable and quite open about his own journey. This book truly has the power to encourage practically everyone who takes the time to peruse it.

I only have a couple minor criticisms, and they are only my personal opinion. I sincerely wish that the book would have been more organized. I sometimes struggled with the details of the book since they were not put in chronological order. I fully understand that the author’s purpose probably did not support that kind of timeline, but I often struggle with books that jump around like this one did. My other criticism concerns his view of God. Now, I believe that everyone is entitled to his/her own beliefs concerning God, and I have no problem with someone stating their belief or non-belief in God. My concern is that he was so dogmatic about it. I believe that the author may have alienated some people by writing as he did, and I can assure you that people of faith would not feel terribly warm towards this book. I appreciate what the author was doing, but I wish that he had stated just a few things somewhat differently. There were no sex scenes, and profanity was minimal.

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
