SYNOPSIS: Joni Eareckson's first book, Joni, told the story of the diving accident that left her a quadriplegic teen-ager confined to life in a wheelchair--and the story of her struggle to accept her handicap. In A Step Further, Joni relates more of her struggles and victories--her bouts with depression, despair, and loneliness--telling honestly how God has used circumstances, individuals, and events to reveal more of Himself to her and to mold more of Himself in her. From her poignant I-wish-I-had-my-hands days to the triumphant notes sounded in the final chapter, "Heaven," A Step Further is Joni's attempt "to answer in part many of the questions people have raised regarding suffering by sharing from my own life"... "God had reasons behind my suffering, and learning some of them has made all the difference in the world." Steve Estes is a graduate of Columbia Bible College and is at present a student at Westminster Theological Seminary. He and his wife Verna are the proud parents of Ryan Glen. Joni Eareckson now lives in Southern California where the climate allows her greater mobility and comfort. Through a non-profit organization, Joni and Friends, Joni has begun a new ministry to those who suffer.. First Thus 7th Printing. Trade Paperback. Fair.
