Download Adversity Builds Character: An Inspirational True Life Story of Disability, Addiction, and Acceptance AudioBook Free
From an early age, author Tom Ufert can keep in mind his grandmother proclaiming that adversity creates character. At that time, he didn't completely know very well what it meant-or know that he'd actually live it. In Adversity Builds Figure, Ufert stocks the occurrences that altered and formed his life and shows how, with God's help, he was able to survive, prosper, and motivate others. In this memoir, he narrates his life account and explains to about the adversity he has faced-his mother's early divorces; the break down of his relationship with his sister; his adoption by family friends; his mother's condition and murder; his connection with a predatory pedophile; his questioning of his own sexuality, bisexuality, and eventual approval of being homosexual; alcoholism and intimate addiction; medical diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis and HIV; and paralysis from a vehicle accident. Revealing, honest, unpleasant, and tender, Adversity Builds Figure communicates the power of the individuals spirit to beat the studies of modern life. It shows how Ufert's anguish paved the way for a deep appreciation forever and God's role in the world.
