Story Behind the Book “In the thirty-seven years I’ve lived as a quadriplegic, I have been forced time and again into the arms of Jesus. Sometimes my paralysis has pushed me down the road to Calvary, like a sheepdog snapping at my heels. Sometimes suffering is like jackhammer, breaking apart my rocks of resistance and pride. Most often, my wheelchair has dumped me at the foot of the cross, and I have rested there by the overwhelming conviction that I have nowhere else to turn. But that’s okay. In fact, it’s a blessing. It’s all a bruising-of-a-blessing. Because near the cross, in the arms of Jesus, I have discovered deep, sweet, peaceable intimacy with the Savior. It’s an intimacy worth sharing!”

A Rebellion against Apathy. A Strategy for Action. "Life is full of good intentions, but for too many, our good intentions never become good actions--they don''t move us forward, draw us closer to God, or make a difference in the world. Good intentions are cans of paint that could have become amazing works of art...but never did." --Daniel Day, in Ten Days Without Daniel Day could tell you all about his love for God and his desire to live as a follower of Jesus. But it took a simple but radical experiment to move from simply talking about it to actually living like it. For ten days at a time, Daniel chose to abandon a certain "necessity"--a coat, a voice, shoes, media, furniture, legs, touch--and to blog about it to raise funds and awareness for organizations that are doing amazing things to make a difference in the world. And then he invited others to join him in the experiments and spread the vision. Together they served God and others--and experienced significant personal change in the process. Ten Days Without is the story of their life-altering adventure. Ten Days Without is a compelling story and practical guide that will equip you and your friends to break through walls of convenience and indifference, and join a movement that is confronting apathy and ignorance around the world to make an impact on people''s lives in a God-honoring way. Ten Days Without is where our good intentions end and making a difference in the world begins.

Never before has it been so important for Christians to discover the answers God’s Word holds to our culture’s biggest ethical and social dilemmas. Every day, the 24-hour news cycle offers stories from around the world of unimaginable physical, mental and emotional suffering.

In Life in the Balance, Joni and her friends take on some of the most difficult issues covered by the evening news, such as street violence, abortion, autism, genocide and stem-cell research.

This workbook, designed for participants in a Life in the Balance individual and group study (Leader Guide with DVD sold separately), will guide readers to apply the timeless yet timely truth of God’s Word to society’s greatest challenges.

Raised in an active, adventurous family, Joni Eareckson Tada worked hard and played hard to keep up with her older sisters and athletic father--until one day a diving accident left her a quadriplegic. But the tragedy that could have ended her life was in reality the beginning of an amazing, constantly unfolding story of grace that has touched the lives of millions worldwide and brought Joni unexpected joy and fulfillment. In this book, Joni unveils the God whom she has found to be faithful through over thirty years as a paralytic. This is not the story of a woman who has all the answers or who is very different from you. Joni struggles with the same fears, questions, and heartaches we all have in common.

It is a sojourn from a naïve child''s belief to a tempered faith that transforms and transcends personal tragedy, bringing light to the darkest places and good out of the most difficult situations, and offering glimpses of the glory that awaits God''s children.

It''s not what I lost. It''s what I''ve found.I was only seventeen, just a girl, when God asked me for everything I had ... my health, my hopes, my independence, my dreams, my freedom, and my mobility. He took it all. I was so angry with Him that I tried to push Him away. God relentlessly held me more closely.Looking back, forty years later, I understand that God has changed and healed me---my heart and my mind---in the most unexpected ways, giving me rubies of His wisdom about an unbending faith and an experience of His mercy I can now tell you about.Was it a fair exchange, my freedom and no wheelchair for the rubies of wisdom I''ve been given? Absolutely. In this I have learned at the feet of the Lord Jesus, embracing the way that God heals us, even when we rage at Him in anger, fear, and despair.This book is not about what I lost in that diving accident so long ago. It''s about the wisdom He''s given me to live life victoriously in the face of disappointments and challenges that we all face.

... Joni lovingly strings together some of her own choice pearls and presents them to you in this beautiful devotional.

A Jewish religious leader named Nicodemus once visited Jesus. Like many people, Nicodemus expected that his good life would earn him a home in Heaven when he died. Imagine how he felt when Jesus said to him, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3).Jesus explained to Nicodemus that the new birth is a spiritual change that can only be brought about by God. The moment a lost sinner repents of his sins and trusts Jesus as the only One who can save him, he is born again. God gives him a spiritual nature through which he can understand and enjoy the things of God.What Jesus told Nicodemus 2,000 years ago is just as true today. We may try to live a good life, go to church or engage in other commendable activities, but we still must be "born again" in order to be a member of God''s family.Haveyoubeen born again? This is life''s most important question, because your answer will affect all of your eternity.How do we know that we have been born again? The Bible lists six characteristics in the book of 1 John. These are not requirements in order to be born again, but the results of God working in our lives. No Habitual SinningFirst: "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin" (1 John 3:9).The true Christian does not habitually sin because he wants to please his Lord. Although he is far from perfect, he knows that "if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17). If he does sin, he can confess and "the Lord is faithful and just to forgive" (1 John 1:9). Believing in ChristSecond: "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God" (1 John 5:1).Someone who is born again believes that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He is the One sent by God the Father to pay the penalty for man''s sin by His death on the Cross. His resurrection from the dead on the third day is proof that He is able to forgive us and bring us into fellowship with the Father. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by Me" (John 14:6).A born-again Christian does not merelyknowthe facts about Jesus Christ, but he has committed his life to Him as Savior and Lord.The child of God does not depend upon his church, his good deeds or his pastor to bring him eternal life. The Bible says, "For as many as received Him (Jesus Christ), to them gave He power to become the children of God, even to them that believe on His name" (John 1:12). Practicing RighteousnessThird: "Everyone that doeth righteousness is born of Him" (1 John 2:29).Christ is the Christian''s example as well as his Savior. Jesus told His disciples, "If ye love Me, keep My commandments" and "ye are My friends, if ye do whatever I command you" (John 14:15; John 15:14).The true Christian lives to please his heavenly Father and tries to avoid those things God hates. Loving Other ChristiansFourth: "We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren" (1 John 3:14).Like Jesus, the child of God loves even his enemies; but he has a special love for those who are also believers. They may be different from him in race, personality and denomination, but they are all members of the same family. "This is the message that ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another" (1 John 3:11). Overcoming the WorldFifth, "Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world" (1 John 5:4).Someone who is born again does not follow the world''s ever-changing standard of right and wrong. He does not mind opposing the world''s ways, because he seeks God''s praise more than man''s and fears offending God more than offending man. Keeping Oneself PureSixth, &q
