In a split second on a hot July afternoon, a diving accident transformed the life of Joni Eareckson Tada forever. She went from being an active young woman to facing every day in a wheelchair. In this unforgettable autobiography, Joni reveals each step of her struggle to accept her disability and discover the meaning of her life. The hard-earned truths she discovers and the special ways God reveals his love are testimonies to faith’s triumph over hardship and suffering.

The new 25th Anniversary edition of this award-winning story--which has more than 3,000,000 copies in print in over 40 languages--will introduce a new generation of readers to the incredible greatness of God’s power and mercy at work in those who fully give their hearts and lives to him.

Joni has written an afterword in which she describes the events that have occurred in her life since the book’s publication in 1976, including her marriage to Ken Tada and the expansion of her worldwide ministry to families affected by disability.

Joni is now available for the first time in an unabridged audio version read by the author.

Customer Reviews

Inspirational and encourages faith.
Joni is an amazing woman. Her story touched me, and brought a deeper understanding of disablities, and the importance of faith. A good book to pass along to friends. Everyone will get something from it.

This book was amazing because it talked Joni's healing.
I loved this book. I think it would be helpful to read for anyone that has suffered a spinal cord injury or that has encountered a personal struggle in their life. I love the message of this book, it tells people that they can overcome any obstacle if they beleive in god because they have been given the strength. My favorite line in this book is, "God never closes a door without opening a window." I believe this book was written to open the window to others about the love of god.
