About the book
"It's too late it's my fate I can't turn around, there's no fear in the mirror to hold me down"
Musician Chris “Manafest” Greenwood lost his father to suicide at the age of five, and found himself with nothing to cling to but a single mom and his childhood dream of moving to California to become a professional skateboarder. But God had different plans; by the age of 18 Chris fell in love with hip-hop music and quit his corporate job to join the ranks of Toronto’s competitive underground hip hop scene, choosing the name Manafest as a reflection of his goal to manifest his dreams. After years of fighting for success in one of the toughest industries in the world, he found himself living in his dream— a 3-time JUNO award nominee, Top 10 Billboard charted rock artist, living in southern California, selling hundreds of thousands of records worldwide.
Named after his highest charted song, Fighter, this book is the story of how Chris conquered his fears and found success in five stages, which he calls the anatomy of a fighter—courage, perseverance, mindset, discipline, and willpower—the five resources we can all draw on in order to reach our dreams, no matter what they are. The message is simple; we have to replace fear with faith. If God can do something great with a skate punk from Pickering Ontario, imagine what he can do with your life!
My Thoughts
I was curious when I signed up for this review. One, the author was a popular Christian musician from Ontario, Canada. Second, I love reading biographies. And I was not disappointed. This young man is being totally honest and transparent with his story. The goal of this book is to encourage the reader who feels like the dreams are gone, he/she doesn’t know where to start, has regrets, and needs inspiration from someone who went through it as well. You will discover how Manafest had struggles, battled adversity, let God into his heart, and conquered his fears.
Reading his testimony was uplifting in some ways because I was able to somewhat connect with him on some levels. I also experienced God’s life changing ways in my own life and I find it inspiring to read about other people who went through though times and were able to raise above it all to pursue their dreams.
Manafest will show you how you can also conquer your own fears and find success with five stages – the anatomy of a fighter: Courage, Perseverance, Mindset, Discipline, and Willpower. These five resources will allow you to rise above the circumstances in your life and reach out for your own personal dreams, no matter what they are. Life is a journey. It’s not always easy and you will have some blocks on the road at times. But with God on your side, you can be certain that the Spirit will provide all the things you need to be able to realize your dreams.
Whether you are a youth wondering what to do in life or someone who need to rise above whatever is happening to you, this book will give you’re a great testimony from someone who pursued what he wanted to be in life with the help of God.
