Book Description
An inspirational can-do book from the star of Channel 4's SAS: Who Dares Wins. In Hero Living Rudy Reyes introduces his philosophy to life - part Homer, part Bruce Lee and part Spider-Man. He outlines various stages towards revealing your inner hero: recognising the hero's call, following the hero's path and returning from life's battlefield with the hero's hard-earned wisdom. Rudy draws on his own heroic story of how he triumphed over harrowing childhood experiences of poverty and abandonment. Rather than giving up hope, he lived up to his full potential. First as a martial-arts champion, then as an elite warrior in the mountains of Afghanistan and on the sands of Iraq, and finally in his post-Marines life as a personal trainer, actor, motivational speaker and TV star. Find your inner hero through Rudy's tried and tested method.

You decide who gets cast in which roles and even the lines you speak. You must write your own script and become the you who is inside screaming to get out. #3 We need to look within and be the hero of our own lives, not just survive but live to the highest order. We must step up and be our best selves, not just surviving but living to the fullest. #4 The hero is the character you play, and character is a determining factor in defining your destiny. The traits, qualities, and reputation you develop over a lifetime directly impact where you land on your legacy.

Pages : 223

Book Description
The cross and resurrection provide the pattern for discipleship today, calling Christians to a radical new way of living. The Ordinary Hero invites us to: live out the radical implications of grace; apply the way of the cross: sacrificial love and service, to every area of life; accept the pattern of suffering followed by glory as normal; pursue spiritual power, not for its own sake, but in order to live the weakness of the cross; embark on risk-taking lives because we're focussed on the world to come. Says the author, 'This book strikes a note that is rarely heard today. In particular, the important themes of suffering followed by glory, and the hiddenness of the Christian life, are all but absent in contemporary Christian thought.' The book concludes with a powerful story of an ordinary hero--Back cover.
