Foreword
Foreword
Joni Eareckson Tada’s life has been a remarkable portrait of Christian faith and God’s grace in the face of trial and hardship. The story of one woman’s triumph over tragedy is still as relevant today as when Joni first penned these words.
The first time I ever saw Joni she was being interviewed by Barbara Walters on NBC, and it was one of the first times I saw Barbara Walters misty-eyed over a story she was listening to.
Joni is an extraordinary person, yet her real strength and creativity come from a vital relationship with Jesus Christ. For over twenty years I have known Joni, asking her on several occasions to share her vibrant testimony in our Crusade services. The story of her life’s journey—finding light in darkness and peace in the storm—is powerfully and poignantly revealed through this book.
Joni Eareckson Tada and her husband, Ken, are images of the grace of God evident through every circumstance of life. In the reading of this book, may you find peace and purpose for your life that can come only through a personal relationship with the same Jesus about whom Joni writes.
God bless you.
