Book Reviews of Joni: An Unforgettable Story
Book Review: A Great Life Testimony
Summary: 4 Stars
This autobiography is one that may literally be a lifesaver for readers.
It is the story of Joni Eareckson Tada. Paralyzed from the neck down in a diving accident at age 17, Joni has faced suffering that few could imagine. She has endured unbelievable pain and loss. She has not even been able to do the simplest things for herself such as get a glass of water. Yet, in spite of all of that, she has excelled both spiritually and in the impact that she has had on countless others.
The author provides some terrific insights into thankfulness, suffering and God's will. One thing that amazes me is her observation about how 'being in a wheelchair became trivial' after she realized how God's perspective is so completely different from ours and she changed her own. Another is the way that she visualized Jesus telling her that He knows how to run her life much better than she does even if it meant being physically helpless.
Another interesting story deals with the thought that perhaps a prayer of hers before the accident led to that lifechanging event.
The bottom line is that this is a superb book that should be read by all Christians, those dealing with big disabilities, and virtually everyone else who is interested in a life story made powerful by Jesus Christ.
