"When I first met Kristen, I was overwhelmed with her smile, and then I saw her wheelchair. It was a defining moment for me. I had not heard her story or why she'd ended up at Moody. But it was her smile--and it is still her smile--that dismantles me. Kristen has something. It is something otherworldly. She had every reason to die, but now she has every reason to live. I hope you'll read her story, see her smile, and know why she lives." -Michael Easley, former president, Moody Bible Institute
