Against All Odds
by Chuck Norris with Ken Abraham
The story of Chuck Norris as told by Chuck Norris.
Against All Odds is the story of a man who overcomes serious obstacles to pull himself out of poverty and on to the movie and television screen. This is the story of Chuck Norris as told by Chuck Norris.
Long before he became "Walker, Texas Ranger," Norris grew up poor with his brothers, his doting mother and his alcoholic father. Through life-changing events and - as Norris firmly believes - divine purpose, he pulls himself out of poverty to become an undefeated 6-time World Professional Middle Weight Karate Champion. His martial arts career, of course, leads him to Hollywood where he becomes known - and criticized - for his action movies.
Norris is the first to tell you he never intended for any of his life's path to happen. Yet through hard work, perseverance, humility and an unwavering faith in God, Norris earns his success in his professional and personal lives.
The Norris story is interesting and inspirational. The story telling gets sappy at times but the writing is very down to earth. The principles he teaches as learned from his life experiences are basic, but then any lesson worth learning is often simple.
Whether you're a fan of Norris, a martial arts enthusiast, or if you're looking for some inspirational reading, Against All Odds is worth picking up.
