I've read this book years ago...Someone gave it to me, and her story still inspire me until today.... "God is good, all the time."The most perfect audio book I've ever listened to. In Joni's own voice .This a totally gripping real life account of A 17 YEAR OLD athletic popular high school girl who has a diving accident and winds up paralyzed from the shoulders down (1967) but she has a very very beautiful spirit . A totally awesome book .here she is at age 67 (still very beautiful !!!!)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqFGe...here she is at 64https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVXJ8...awesomea decade after her accident she
I read this book aloud to my kids for school. CN and MD gave it 5 stars MK and I gave 4. CN said that Joni learned a lot of life lessons and didnt give up. MD said she learned from difficulties and always was trying to get better. MK said she liked that Joni took what she learned and taught it to others. I liked that she learned that God was her one constant.
Powerful testament to the truth that even when we don't care about God, are mad at God, are bitter at God, or are running from God, He graciously makes himself known in our lives anyway. I am amazed that Ms. Eareckson Tada was able to surrender to God in such a way as to praise Him each morning though her heart cries out, "I can't 'do' quadriplegia anymore"! She really does "give thanks in all circumstances" (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
This is one of the first Christian biographies I read. It was very inspirational. Her story was very challenging and uplifting at the same time.
In a sense this isnt a direct autobiography. We meet Joni at the start of the book when she feels as if she is drowning after bumping her head, until she is rescued by one of her sisters. Its a huge shock to her system to find herself in hospital, unable to move anything other than her head. From dreams of college and independence, she is entirely dependent on the hospital staff, and unsure whether she will survive.The rest of the book charts her progress, including two operations, and a great
I read this when I was junior high. It was very inspirational. Many of my friends were reading it at that time. At one point, I acquired a few back issues of Western Horseman from the 1960's and in one of them I discovered a letter from Joni in the pen-pal section of the magazine, written before her paralysis. I still have that magazine.
