I received Joni Eareckson Tada compliments of The Good Book Company in exchange for my honest review.
Joni Eareckson Tada is the latest title in the Do Great Things for God series by The Good Book Company. The book’s author is Christian singer and songwriter, Kristyn Getty. This is the first book in the series dedicated to a Christian woman who is still living and it is absolutely delightful!
The book details the biography of Joni Eareckson Tada, a Christian woman who became severely disabled in an accident that left her wheelchair bound for the rest of her life. I appreciate that the book doesn’t shy away from Joni feeling angry after her accident. It also shares how she had hard questions to wrestle through. I find it very important for children to understand that trials are a regular part of the Christian life (John 16:33) and I’m so grateful that they can learn how to struggle well by Joni’s example.
Motivated by the comfort she’s received in Christ, Joni started a nonprofit called Joni & Friends that provides gospel help and hope for individuals with disabilities. An especially precious aspect of the book to me was its inclusion of Romans 8:28 because it happened to be the verse my oldest daughter is working on memorizing as a part of her school curriculum.
Joni Eareckson Tada is a beautiful dedication to Joni’s life and the global impact she’s had for Christ. The illustrations are aesthetically appealing and the book moved me to tears. This is my oldest daughter’s favorite book series. We greatly enjoyed this volume in it and eagerly anticipate reading forthcoming volumes.
