Publisher's 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

What the critics say

"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)

Not a Wrestling Memoir

This is not a book about Shawn Michael's wrestling career, but his religious salvation. Too religious for me.

I’m sure the book is good

Can’t stand listening to the narrator, between hearing wrongly pronounced last names to all the breathing and wet sounding voice, it’s extremely irritating.

Excellent Story Of Shawn's Redemption

If you were a fan of wrestling in the 90's then you are probably very familiar with the story of Staff Shawn Michaels. One of the most exciting performers ever who had a notorious reputation outside of the ring. This book is the story of Shawn finding his faith as a husband, father and famous wrestler. As a wrestling fan who is also a born again Christian, I really enjoyed listening to this. My only complaint is that it's not read by Shawn Michaels.

Inspiring Book!

This book came at the right time in my life as I had hit a low point. I have been wondering a long time what purpose had left. Over the years Shawn's witness has been very curious to me. Then one day a beautiful Christian woman came to my life with nothing but love in her heart. I struggled with the things she said about God then heard this book. Thank you Shawn Higgenbottom, your real life is an inspiration
