In her newest book, Joni Eareckson Tada looks back to the diving accident at 17 that destined her for a lifetime in a wheelchair, recalling the challenges she faced and the insights she's gained into the wisdom and nature of God. “God has changed and healed me in the most unexpected ways,” Joni says. “A Lifetime of Wisdom is not about what I've lost, but what I've found!” And now she wants to share her priceless treasure with you.

God asked Joni for everything she had...her health, her independence, her dreams, her freedom—even her mobility. She was so angry with Him that she tried to push Him away—but through four decades, Joni moved from enduring her circumstances to finding God's joy in them. Today, Joni understands that God has healed her heart and mind in miraculous ways, giving her wisdom about an unbending faith and an experience of His mercy.

Was it a fair exchange? “Absolutely,” she says. “In this I have learned at the feet of the Lord Jesus, embracing the way that God heals us, even when we rage at Him in anger, fear and despair.”

A Lifetime of Wisdom will inspire you to surmount whatever life throws your way and to emerge victorious into a life of fulfillment...just as Joni has.

"'God, I can't...I can't live like this. If You won't let me die, then please show me how to live.'

It wasn't exactly a ringing prayer of faith. But it left the door open for Him to respond. And He would. Because 'the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit' (Psalm 34:18). Do we really believe that?"—from A Lifetime of Wisdom
