I have read a lot of Joni's books, and being a paraplegic, I have corresponded with her as well. This true story starring Joni as herself, really makes you look at life in a different perspective. EVERYONE needs to watch this movie or at least read the book.

This is the true life story which captivated millions, and among those my own family. It is the story of Joni Eareckson (now with the last name Tada), and it follows this young girl when she was just 17 years of age.

A diving accident snapped her neck and left her paralyzed, and in the months which followed, there were great physical, emotional, and spiritual struggles which she had to deal with. The movie is quite honest in this area and it doesn't candy coat anything at all.

The film re-creates Joni's joys and sorrows, her fears and victories, and above all, her faith in the wisdom and certain blessings of a Heavenly Father, and the faith in Christ which has sustained her for these many years. She is still involved in ministry to the disabled and handicapped, and her life has been a testimony of the power of Christ to those who have been where she has been and still remain.

Highly and emotionally recommended!!!
