I have just finished this book and I believe that it is a GREAT book. I loved this books quote NEVER QUIT it sends a great message, even when you are down in the dumps or everything you use to do is now difficult to accomplish Never Quit. I would recommend this book to anyone who love true, unbelieving stories.

Read as a young child and just now read to my family. Never Quit is a story of challenge, hope, courage and Christ.

I can always read this in a day. Only ten short chapters. I love the story and it always captures my attention right away.

I've read this book many, many times. It's the first book I remember my father giving to me. I think I was in the 4th grade that year. I've read it to my older children and today (3/23/20) I finished reading it to Naomi and Julia.

I read it to Naomi and Julia again 5/22/23

A quick and uplifting read. The story of the fire that killed Glenn Cunningham’s brother and damaged his own legs is heartbreaking. The strength and tenacity he showed to become a record-breaking track star is inspiring. Highly recommended. Special bonus: my used copy is autographed by the man himself!

I grew up listening to a Story Hour audio cassette about "Little Bad Legs". It was fascinating to read about him, and his amazing story. The life of hardship and pain he and his family endured makes anything I've ever gone through seem like fluff.

A very quick read.

(One swear word during the first chapter as Mr. Cunningham describes one of the troubled boys he helped.)
