Joni & Ken

Marriage has its challenges, but imagine marriage where one of you is a quadriplegic!  In Joni & Ken: An Untold Love Story, Ken and Joni Eareckson Tada are amazingly honest and open about the struggles of keeping love in a marriage.

You might remember Joni Eareckson. When 16 she had a diving accident that left her a quadriplegic. She now is a cheerleader and an encourager to the disabled. She speaks around the world doing so.

So why did this couple write this book?  Because they want to show that to the weakest couple, Jesus Christ is the answer. They know well that dreams don't usually work out; that life is hard on high expectations; and that things hardly ever fall together as we hoped.  But their message has hope! We are not to give up on dreams but to realize that there is a God who has bigger dreams for us, though obstacles will be faced causing us to rely on a big God.
·         
 This book is full of reality and hope and proves God is the answer for all of us.

This book is the June 2014 selection for the Faith Inspired Book Club at the Delphi Public Library. We meet the 4th Thursday of the month, 9:00 a.m. on the mezzanine.
