B>Memory means everything to me,” writes Tada. In this tender, beautifully written memoir, she reflects with vivid detail on the idyllic Maryland childhood that shaped her Christian faith and the 1967 diving accident that left her a quadriplegic but showed her that “there are more important things in life than walking.” As the youngest of four girls, Tada idolized her father and namesake, Johnny, who instilled in her a daredevil sense of adventure and shaped her view of God. When as a teenager she drifted from faith, she prayed that God would turn her around. Tada believes the accident she had at age 17 was God’s response: “It wasn’t some flip-of-the-coin in the cosmos, some turn in the universe’s roulette wheel. It was part of God’s plan-for me.” She shares how her experiences with suffering have given her a platform to encourage others with disabilities through her speaking, writing, artwork and the organization she founded to aid the disabled, “Joni and Friends.” Intermixed with humorous stories about her friends, marriage and professional triumphs are vulnerable glimpses of her dips into depression, anger and frustration over infertility. But, almost 36 years after “the dive,” Tada has learned that “true wisdom is found in trusting God when you can’t figure things out.” Christian readers should appreciate this mature, absorbing reminiscence of a remarkable life.

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
Scott Larsen, general editor, is a native of the Jersey Shore. One of the contributors to The Soul Care Bible and The MacArthur Student Bible, he received both his B.A. (Psychology) and M.A. (Clinical Psychology) from Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. He currently works in the financial services industry as a municipal bond trader. Scott lives in the Chicago suburbs with his wife and their two sons.

Waking the Dead, the powerful new message from bestselling author John Eldredge, inspires Christians to begin living from the heart so that they can live for the hearts of others.

There is a glory to life that most people—including believers—never see. In this insightful new book, John Eldredge presents the heart as central to life. Not only is the heart essential; the heart God has ransomed is also good. Building on these precious truths, Eldredge shows readers why real Christianity is a process of restoration, whereby the broken parts of our hearts are mended and the captive parts are set free.
