Understanding God’s Plan for the End of Life - Joni Eareckson Tada


When I was a new Christian Joni was just a few steps ahead of me in her Christian Journey.
She has written some amazing books and ministered to so many people. Those with disabilities or otherwise.
A voice that needs to be heard and that us why I am sharing this here.
Back then we had these 2 wonderful young Christian women leading the way.
Joni and Evie(Tornquist)

A Wonderful song by one of God's Chosen

As a young Christian in the 1970's I was greatly influenced by Joni Eareckson's book Joni about her tragic accident as a teenager that left her a quadriplegic.
It so impressed me that I gave copies to other people including a young girl I did not know who was in a hospital bed having just suffered a similar accident.
The book wonderfully tells the story of her battle to come to terms with her injury and her Christian Faith.
She later married Ken Tada and became Joni Eareckson Tada.
They have continued all these long years since in Ministry and Joni has also recorded as a singer.
I read today that her song from the  film called "Alone but not alone", it is the title song by the same name, has been nominated for an Academy Award.
Read how Christianity Today has reported on this and watch the beautiful film clip of Joni singing the song.
