'When I feel in a rut, I always go back to this book' ***** 5 star reader review
Bear Grylls survived a free-fall parachute accident that left him with a broken back; he has fallen down a mountain in the Rockies; severed a finger in the Vietnam jungle; and, broken a shoulder in Antarctica. He passed the gruelling training to join the SAS, crossed the North Atlantic in an open inflatable boat, and held the highest ever open-air formal dinner party, in a balloon at 25,000 feet.
But the hardest thing he has ever had to face, he says, is the death of his father. It was then, age 25, that he found what he describes in an interview with the Telegraph as 'a really lovely quiet faith that has been a powerful thing'.
As he wrote in GQ magazine, 'My faith tells me I am known, that I am secure and that I am loved - regardless of the storms I may find myself in from time to time, regardless of how often I fall and fail.'
For the first time, in this open, brave and honest book, Bear reveals the inspiration that helps him to stand strong and find peace each day. These daily readings - exploring themes of friendships, failure, courage, risk, and much more - show us all how to face each day with purpose and power.
'Be brave. Embrace faith wherever you may find it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.'
Bear Grylls is probably the most recognisable face of adventure on the planet.
He is a former 21 SAS soldier, who went on to become one of the youngest ever climbers of Mt Everest, despite breaking his back in a free-fall accident only months earlier.
From Everest he has gone on to host more extreme adventure TV shows across more global networks than anyone in history.
Bear's shows include the legendary Discovery channel show MAN Vs WILD and the hit show RUNNING WILD with Bear Grylls, now in its eighth season on National Geographic Channel and Disney Plus.
His guests have included: Will Ferrell, Bradley Cooper, Roger Federer, Julia Roberts, plus President Obama, Prime Minister Modi of India and many others.
Bear currently hosts the hit Netflix series Bear Hunt where he takes 12 celebrities to the jungle, trains them up, before hunting and tracking them down. This became the Number One show on Netflix.
He is a double BAFTA & EMMY winner, a family man, and a No. 1 bestselling author who has sold over 20 million books.
He is the Honorary Colonel to the British Royal Marine Commandos, & the first ever Chief Ambassador to 55 million young Scouts worldwide.
He is married to Shara with 3 sons. They live part of the year off grid on a small remote Welsh island.
