Synopsis:

'Thank you, God, for this chair!' Not the words you'd expect from a woman who has spent 40 years as a quadriplegic following a tragic diving accident at 17. But it is the perspective of a woman who has suffered heartbreaking losses ...and incomparable gains. Chief among those gains have been the insights she's gained into the wisdom and nature of God - learned and refined through seasons of difficulty and trial. In one sense, that wisdom did cost Joni all she had: her hopes, her dreams, her independence, her health, her freedom, and mobility. In the early years, it seemed a price much too high to pay. But through 4 decades Joni's moved from enduring her circumstances to finding God's joy in them. And now she has written a book that shares the heavenly wisdom and perspective she's learned. There have been many books written about tragedy and struggle, of pain and bitterness, but in this book, Joni chooses to dwell not on what she has lost but on what she has found.
