Joni Eareckson Tada - Swimming Against the Tide

The true story of Joni Eareckson Tada

Joni Eareckson is a well–known Christian speaker and author from America but there was a day when she was a teenage girl in a bathing costume with nothing on her mind but boys, make up and her beloved horse, Tumbleweed. However, all that changed one morning when an innocent dive turned into a tragic accident. Joni’s story is a wonderful testimony to God’s grace and power in someone’s life.

Healing may have been an amazing miracle that didn’t happen but Joni’s ongoing work with thousands of disabled people throughout the world is a miracle in itself.

This gripping and astonishing story from Catherine MacKenzie will challenge young readers to trust God as Joni Eareckson Tada did.
