Publisher's Description

▼▲

Inspire children to trust God and love others, even when they face great challenges. Kids will see how God cares for us as they read this recounting of Joni Eareckson Tada’s lively childhood, life-changing accident and challenging adjustment to a very different way of life. They'll discover how how God has used her in amazing ways to bless others.

Children will hear how, when a terrible diving accident left her severely disabled, Joni was left with a lot of questions about God. It was easy to trust him when she was healthy and happy, but did she want to follow him now that life was so hard?

As young ones discover how God cared for Joni and how Joni held on to her faith and used her circumstances to love others, they'll be inspired about the great things they can do for God. And they’ll be encouraged to be a friend to those with disabilities or in hard situations.

As well as being an award-winning hymn writer and a mother of four, Kristyn writes as a good friend of Joni, bringing a personal touch to the story.

Editorial Reviews

Joni’s story is amazing, and Kristyn tells it beautifully, without shying away from the painful parts. But even more amazing is the way Joni’s story so joyfully points us to Jesus. -- Andrew Peterson (acclaimed singer/songwriter and author of the award-winning Wingfeather Saga)

Joni Eareckson Tada shows us by her example that the path to our destiny, or the path of a loved one to theirs, may lead through suffering. In this simple children’s book, Kristyn Getty has underscored faith in and friendship with Jesus as essential if we want to come through the worst of times with blessings for ourselves – and for others. -- Anne Graham Lotz (Author of Just Give Me Jesus)
