Críticas

Joni is at once a student and a teacher. She searches for answers, and then ably guides those who are seeking to understand some of the same difficult questions she has asked about suffering, anger, God's sovereignty and prayer. She is candid about her personal struggles, but addresses each of them by providing biblical illustrations of how God is always present and in control. Through her practical counsel, Joni empowers anyone who has endured painful experiences in life to trust and turn toward God. Jean Driscoll Assistant Dean for Advancement University of Illinois College of Applied Health Sciences--Jean Driscoll, Asst Dean for Advancement, Univ of IL, College of Applied Health Sciences (8/26/2012 12:00:00 AM) "I am thrilled that Joni has taken the time to address these critical questions. As always, her counsel is both wise and compassionate - full of truth and grace." Dennis Rainey President, FamilyLife--Dennis Rainey, President of FamilyLife "FamilyLife" (9/10/2012 12:00:00 AM) How can my troubles be 'light and momentary'? I needed Joni's eternal perspective on drawing closer to God. Her comments and verses provide daily discovery. These pamphlets are not one-time study guides; they are packed with such spiritually sound advice and insights, I find myself reviewing them again and again, helping me renew my outlook, my hope, and my strength to face each day with a perspective that glorifies God. This pamphlet helped to turn my anxiety into courage and peace--Mrs. Carol Witte, Stage IIIB Lung Cancer patient "FamilyLife" (7/16/2012 12:00:00 AM) The new pamphlets from Rose Publishing by Joni Eareckson Tada are a treasure for both Pastors and Chaplains. Joni has the ability to answer so many hard asked questions by her experience. Her love of God and her knowledge of His Word linked with her genuine empathy for people that are suffering and questioning God is uncanny.--Rev. Dr. Skip Lewis, Director of Chaplaincy, Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center "FamilyLife" (7/16/2012 12:00:00 AM) I love how the pamphlets get to the point, saying exactly what I needed to hear in an easy-to-understand way. Plus, they are light weight and can fit in my purse, making them easy to take to the doctors' office or to my chemo appointments. If you know someone fighting a terminal illness or even their family members who need encouragement as well, I highly recommend you check out these pamphlets.--Mrs. Cindy Curran, nurse (LVN), Stage III Breast Cancer survivor, and current chemo patient "FamilyLife" (7/16/2012 12:00:00 AM)

Reseña del editor

Suffering is miserable. When you're overwhelmed by pain and problems, it's easy to feel helpless, hopeless and sinking into a whirlpool of self-pity. Author and speaker Joni Eareckson Tada knows about these emotions first-hand. A diving accident in 1967 left her confined to a wheelchair as a quadriplegic at the age of 17. Joni knows what it's like to suffer chronic pain. Yet she has found comfort and meaning in the God of the Bible.

Whether you are suffering physically, emotionally, or spiritually, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. Joni Eareckson Tada understands.
