Book Review: By Faith, Not by Sight by Scott MacIntyre
"I received this book for free from BookSneeze for this review”.
Book Review: Is it possible to be high on a mountain and deep in a valley at the same time?
This isn't a riddle, it's Scott MacIntyre's life. Each time his dreams came true, Scott found his nightmares not far behind. Some call it Murphy's Law. Others call it bad luck. Scott has learned to call it a blessing, even when circumstances have threatened to take everything away.
Graduate. Marshall scholar. Recording artist. American Idol. Blind from birth, Scott has had to work harder and longer to achieve his goals. But when a silent killer begins to undermine his success, Scott cannot work it out alone. Once again, he must lean on his faith, his close-knit family, and the life-giving aid of friends to survive.
Follow Scott's roller coaster ride to see how God used the mountains and valleys to give him perspective, hope and ultimately triumph.

My Review: I was not sure how much I was going to enjoy this book. It did begin very slowly and took some time to catch onto, but once I did, I couldn't put it down. To read who Scott is and to understand how much he has been through and still accomplished so much in his life is truly amazing. You could feel his pain through everything he had to endure as written in this book, but more than anything, you could feel his passion to survive, to become something, someone. To say that Scott is someone with a handicap would be an error in words...to say that he is he is an inspiration would be dead on :)
