The context of this book is a transposition in poetic verse of the
well-known book "The Imitation Of Christ" by Thomas a Kempis. Its
publication goes back as far as the fifteenth century. Each chapter
and verse is now written in the rhythm of poetry and in ordinary
words as you know them, but in another sense they are extraordinary
words as they come from the soul within. They are there for the
modern age of mankind written in layman terms, easy to understand,
easy to retain in one's memory banks by virtue of their absolute
simplicity and poetic form. Cover shows Jesus Christ as depicted by
Saint Sister Faustina, a Catholic Nun whose vision of Christ was
given to her by JESUS himself.
Never one to back down in the face of adversity, the name Attila
Domos is synonymous with the word "winner." In the fall of 1993,
Domos suffered a falling accident that left him paralyzed at the
waist on the same night he and his former rock n' roll band Big Bad
Wolf signed a recording contract, but he has never allowed his
injury to slow him down. An accomplished musician, athlete, writer
and entrepreneur, Domos seems to have his hand in a little bit of
everything these days. Go ahead and try to tell him he can't
succeed. That just fuels his competitive fire even more and he will
prove you wrong every time. Domos' steely determination and courage
allow him to constantly push himself and his body to the limit in
everything he attempts. He has completed numerous self-challenges
in an effort to raise money for spinal cord research, including his
infamous "Attila vs. the Mountain" hill climb in Pittsburgh. Most
recently, he won the 2010 Pittsburgh Marathon's handcycling
division by more than 11 minutes. Domos' autobiography entitled,
"Because You Shouldn't be Afraid to Chase Your Dreams" touches on
his life before, during and after his paralyzing accident. Some
events include his childhood as a Hungarian, living in Romania
under the ruthless dictator Nicolai Ceausescu, and later his life
in a refugee camp. He takes the readers behind the walls of the
Vienna Boys Choir, as he became a member of the world famous choir
at the age of 10. Readers also get an honest opinion of America
through the eyes of a 12 year old immigrant and the struggles that
come along with getting accepted by the locals. Attila openly talks
about his previous sex/drugs/rock 'n roll lifestyle, life from a
wheelchair, his marriage and much, much more. "Because You
Shouldn't be Afraid to Chase Your Dreams" chronicles the
extraordinary circumstances and events which shaped Attila into the
inspiring man he is today and takes the reader on one man's
improbable journey toward self discovery.
