Unstoppable is a book written by Marie Irving. It was intentionally divided into two parts. The first part contained eighteen chapters, and the second part had nineteen chapters. It is also written in two hundred and twelve pages. The Holy Spirit chiefly inspired the book; it is intended to help Christians know that God loves us and is readily available to lead the way in our life.

Marie introduced the lead character, Marie Graham, who, as a little child, had no purpose but a quest to conquer the world. After her conversion to Christianity, she had difficulty ascertaining her purpose in life. She took up different job roles, including working as a secretary in the social work department of a local hospital. Soon she became an employee in the Community Aid and Information Service, then a developmental officer at the Canterbury Earl Wood Caring Association. These helped her with the necessary knowledge to fulfill her purpose when she learned of it. She developed a discipleship program aimed at eradicating poverty. This was spread to many countries in Africa, including Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Botswana, etc.

There are so many positive aspects of this book. The author was very detailed on her Christian journey; she carefully took us on this journey with selectively inspired scriptures. The plain language employed and the structures of the chapters were very commendable. I enjoyed the little notes between the chapters. This gave a little insight into what the next chapter will hold. The character of Marie Graham was very relatable; it showed the struggle of finding a purpose in life and the length a person can go to fulfill their mission.

Another significant aspect of the book that I found endearing was the detailed reassurance and the attentiveness to God’s message. It was written in a way that would hook a reader and persuade them to reflect on the messages they had received from God, which they had previously ignored. It gives the reader the urge to practice the teachings in the book with the firm belief that if it can happen to her, indeed, there is a high possibility that it can happen to me. I loved that the book was sound in Christian doctrines.

There is practically no negative aspect of the book. No matter how hard I tried to see if I could single out any part of this book that is in the negative, I could not find anything. This book was professionally edited because I found minimal errors in it.

I will rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I could not find any compelling reason why this book should not get a perfect rating. I enjoyed everything about it. Also, it was a great book inspired by the Holy Spirit.

I will gladly recommend this book to Christians who are on the verge of giving up on their fate. I recommend this book to those who have not found their purpose in life and are struggling in their journey of life.

This is beautiful. As believers, it is important to know and understand that there is a reason we are here and one major way is to discover our purpose. Great review too

A persons life can be filled with so much confusion and anxiety when one doesn't understand their purpose here on this earth. I'm glad Marie was able to find her purpose at last.
