Joni Eareckson Tada - Swimming Against the Tide (Trail Blazers Series)

Joni's story is not a story about a miraculous healing, it's not even a story about a tragic accident - it's the story of an ordinary girl who showed how God's power transforms lives. This book features prayers and topics for further thought.

Joni Eareckson is a well-known Christian speaker and author from America but there was a day when she was a teenage girl in a bathing costume with nothing on her mind but boys, make up and her beloved horse, Tumbleweed. However, all that changed one morning when an innocent dive turned into a tragic accident. Joni's story is a wonderful testimony to God's grace and power in someone's life. Healing may have been an amazing miracle that didn't happen but Joni's ongoing work with thousands of disabled people throughout the world is a miracle in itself.Read less
