Summary
As a WWE wrestler with millions of fans, Shawn Michaels had adulation and all the attention he could ask for, but he found himself longing for something more. When he became a committed Christian at the height of his career, Shawn learned what it's like to be a man of faith in a secular arena.
Wrestling for My Life documents Shawn's journey to finding a new way of life - one that's marked by faith, family, and forgiveness.
As you watch Shawn's testimony unfold, you'll learn about:
- The power of self-discipline
- The importance of finding a supportive mentor who challenges you to be the best version of yourself
- The freedom that's found in true forgiveness
Critic reviews
"Shawn's greatest challenge came from deep within himself, and it's been awe-inspiring to watch this man pull himself from the depths of his own personal hell by immersing himself in his faith in God. I couldn't be more amazed at the man, husband, father, and friend he has become." (The Undertaker)
"Shawn's story is an important reminder of life's priorities and how we choose to use our given gifts. While I work with Shawn outside of the wrestling world, I can still strongly attest to his perseverance, passion, and humility. These pages offer an inside look into how he found strength for better change." (Jeff Wayne, Executive Vice President Programming of Outdoor Channel)

An amazing life biography of Shawn Michaels.
1) I was less interested in his wrestling because I have seen and heard all of this before.
I was closed minded to religion until before I heard this biography and now, less so.
HBK turned my head and turned me towards Casting Crowns and Dr Dobson.
2) It would help if the narrator knew the subject matter better or how to pronounce some names. It's clear that he is not in know. But he grew on me.
His cadence is of a story teller.

A good read but if your not a fan of religion you should avoid like the plague
Goes over his career post retirement in 1998 and the book is half wrestling book half god his great book.
Still worth a listen if your interested in his career and salvation form the lord

Good first Audible read!!!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Very good insight into the rebirth of a man with self admitted issues.
What did you like best about this story?
Very honest and open book with an extremely feel good factor story. Even the negatives had a positive spin.
Which character – as performed by Daniel Butler – was your favourite?
I liked the narrator as he sounded like he belonged in WWE. This went a long way to my belief and understanding of the book.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The whole book has made me look at my own life in a different light. You do not necessarily need to hit rock bottom to make changes to your self.
Any additional comments?
Very enjoyable listen and something I can relate to on most counts.

Life Changing
This book was simply amazing. This book was not what I was expecting, but a whole lot more. I'm fascinated in how someone managed to find complete peace through faith. I'd love to know what the version of the bible he read at the beginning. (the easy to understand and explained version)

A Showstopper of a Story of Finding Faith
I am a wrestling fan. A Shawn Michaels fan. I have a faith. This story is one that many newcomers to faith or for those who wer brought up with one and lost touch with it will inspire them to at least take steps again to find it. It massively helps if you are a wrestling fan and know the wrestling career of Shawn Michaels but if you know nothing of him simply understand he took many wrong paths but found his faith and is doing his best to walk in faith. The narrator has a good voice and i listened mostly in car or in bed so dropped off a few times. However he didnt seem like he knew what he was talking about or even read the book before he read it out loud. That being said this book has empowered me to take steps to finding my faith again and if Shawn Michaels can do it after the life he led and lead a life of love, commitment, integrity and inspire others then maybe I can tag team with Jesus and kick the sins from my life.

Less God more Shawn Please
I understand it has been a huge part of his life, but if youre expecting a book about his career it may be better to look at his other release. This tends to focus more on his faith than career

spoiled by a bad narrator
I've only got as far as chapter 4 so far. but a really good book is being absolutely ruined by a bad narrator. he sounds disinterested, is getting people's names wrong (Pat Peterson instead of Pat Patterson for example) and worse of all sounds not only like he has the flu from hell, but slurring his words like he's drunk!! ... Avoid! I'll be reading the book instead of listening to this any longer..
