Description

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 decision to participate in the Ironman competition, to the moment he crossed the finish line, readers will engage with Scott’s unthinkable courage, determination and faith. Unthinkable releases simultaneously in both hardcover and softcover. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Scott Rigsby Foundation, a Georgia-based non-profit organization dedicated to inspire, inform, and enable physically challenged individuals with loss of limb or mobility to live an active lifestyle.


Customer reviews for 'Unthinkable'

«A great read!»

Unthinkable is a great title for this book because once you're into the book you realize just how many unthinkable things occur aside from the primary story. If this book doesn't make you stop and review your own life and appreciate life for what's possible you have issues. It really makes you think about god, his grace and the relationship that he offers for those that place their life in his hands. Whether you grew up knowing Scott Rigsby or never met the guy, his genuine honesty throughout the book and life story is worth reading. Buy the book, it's the best money you'll spend this week.

«UnThinkable»

Emotionally intense! Reads like an adventure novel, you can't wait to see what happens next. Unbelievable grit and determination and the highest level of pain tolerance of anyone I have ever met. Don't be embarrassed if you shed a tear or two. Inspirational!!!

«Inspiring»

I teach 8th grade language arts and one of the requirements for students is that they must do a book talk during the second quarter. One of my students did a book talk on Unthinkable and convinced me to read the book from her presentation. The following day, Scott Rigsby came to our school and then to our classroom to speak. I have to say, it was one of the most amazing moments I have ever had as a teacher! I obviously did not have time to read the book by that moment, however, after talking with Scott I still had so many questions. Here is my review: Read the book! The writing is brutally honest. He certainly does not sugar coat the roller coaster his life has taken him on thus far. It is absolutely refreshing to read both the good and the bad, not just the pleasant side of reaching a destiny, and Scott puts the tough times in there with passion! The book gives a person the opportunity to look within themselves and find value in their life, in who they are as a person. I would put this on any "wish" list for the simple fact that inspiration is a gift, and Scott Rigsby is giving the world a gift with the publication of his story. Read it and be inspired to become the "YOU", you have always wanted to be!
