My daughter gave me her copy of Scott's book to read for "inspiration". I lost both legs in 2008 serving in Iraq and she thought it would help. Let me tell you, it did. My faith and outlook on life has changed for the better.
Unthinkable is a great title because it completely fits the story. It's
the kind of book that will make you laugh, cry and maybe even reconsider your faith in God and general outlook on life, cause just when you start to think you can't, there's that part that says "yeah I can". I started reading one afternoon and couldn't put it down. I was reading a book about someone I don't really know and ended up seeing myself -- only I've never competed in an Ironman =) I plan on sharing it with the vets that I'm now working with. Thank you, my friend, for sharing your story with us.

Scott's story is a tribute to man's ability to triumph over adversity through faith in God. He writes as though he is talking with the reader and the book flows from its horrific beginning to a 'can't talk/can't eat/can't sleep I'm on the last 70 pages' finale. I bought this for a friend who recently lost a leg and cannot wait for him to experience the hope and feelings of potential Scott imparts in this book. Thank you, Scott!

I read this book in 24 hrs. Could not put it down. Everyone should read it. It certainly gives you a new perspective about what's important. I would highly recommend it for teens.

Overview
After losing both of his legs in a car accident at age 18, Scott Rigsby battled his way back from depression and addiction to achieve the unthinkable—become the first double-leg amputee ever to cross the finish line in the sporting world’s most grueling and prestigious competition, the Ironman Triathlon. Scott has since become an inspiration to hundreds of thousands of physically challenged and able-bodied athletes the world over. Unthinkable documents Scott’s remarkable journey. From the scene of the devastating crash that claimed both of his legs, and his subsequent battle with depression and alcohol addiction, through his dawning realization that God has a greater plan for his life, readers will be inspired. From his
