Ken underestimated the challenges of marrying a woman with quadriplegia. Even the honeymoon wasn't easy. Through their years together, Ken becomes increasingly overwhelmed by the unceasing demands of caring for a woman with chronic, extreme, nightmarish pain. He sinks into depression. Though living under the same roof, they drift apart. In the midst of their deepest struggles with depression and pain, Ken and Joni return to the one true answer to their struggles. One that is far from a denial of Joni's diagnosis or thoughts of how wonderful a quick exit to heaven would be. In their darkest hour, Ken and Joni encounter a heavenly visitation that changes their lives-and maybe yours too-forever.

Honest Portrayal of Joni and Ken's Marriage
Joni and Ken are both so honest and courageous in sharing the ups and downs of their 30-year marriage. Joni's quadriplegia certainly brought challenges to the marriage, but they also faced Ken's depression and Joni's battle with chronic pain and breast cancer. Even one of those circumstances would be enough to crush some marriages, yet they have come through it all with a greater love for each other and dependence on God. They are the first to insist that they're nothing special and that it is all due to God's grace, but there's no denying that they are a remarkable couple. Hearing their story certainly puts other people's little marital glitches into perspective. \\n\\nWhile some parts of the book are poignant, there is also a great deal of warmth and humour. Indeed, Joni's breast cancer brought them closer together than ever before and actually became a source of joy. It was also wonderful to hear more of Ken's story and how God shaped him into the warrior he was designed to be. \\n\\nMy only slight reservation with the book is that it's told in third person. I know it would have been more complicated to have two people sharing their personal thoughts, but I think it could have been done. Once I got over that, I really enjoyed the book. \\n\\nThis is a marriage that has been refined in the fire and come out as precious silver. A truly inspirational read.

Joni is a prolific author who has told her story with humility and bravery for so long. But this is the beautiful """"behind the scenes"""" look at her marriage to Ken, her often photographed but rarely heard husband. Their extreme honesty in this """"duography"""" is amazing and real. Their desire to serve God through all circumstances (quadriplegia, chronic pain and breast cancer) is astounding and the details of surviving marriage is inspiring. I loved this book, have read it twice and will read it again.
