A piano prodigy, a nineteen-year-old college grad, a Marshall scholar, and an American Idol finalist. This guy had it made. He could sing.
He could ski blind. What couldn’t he do?
Even if you saw him in concert, you might not believe that Scott MacIntyre is blind, and you’d never guess that at nineteen, he faced a diagnosis that rocked his family and nearly took his life.
So how did he do it? How did he overcome the odds?
This is Scott’s story, but he’d be the first to tell you that it’s not really about him. This is the story of how God used a dedicated family, a selfless acquaintance, hardship, and a host of characters to give him life, faith, determination, and experiences most can only imagine.
Well why I requested this book I don't know. I thought it would be a good read, and I wasn't disappointed. This is an autobiography from a past contestant from the famous TV show American Idol.
Scott has his sights set on being a musician, an artist, and in this tell all story he tells of his struggles, his roadblocks and the obstacles that got in his way- one of them, being blind.
While we may think our life is tough, we can never see past our own noses. We don't realize how hard others have it as well. I cannot imagine living with blindness and I commend this man for everything he's went through and still held on to his Faith in God.
This story tells of God's goodness and grace when we put our trust in him. I would definitely reccomend this book to anyone who's struggling and feeling like God has left them, because he is indeed there, always.
