Joni Eareckson Tada. The Girl Who Longed to Follow God in a Wheelchair. Written by Kristyn Getty. Book Review by HomeschoolingHighway.com

I received a complimentary copy of Joni Eareckson Tada: The Girl Who Learned to Follow God in a Wheelchair by The Good Book Company for my honest review. All opinions are 100% my own.

I had the privilege to watch Joni’s life story movie when I was about ten years old.

Since then, I’ve always admired Joni’s spirit and testimony as she let God use her as He wanted to.

Kristyn Getty has written a nice, simple, easy to read book about Joni’s life.

The illustrations are colorful and bright and a real eye opener for children that are not used to seeing other children with disabilities.

 The objective of the book is for children to learn to be a friend to others with disabilities and to know Jesus as your friend too.

There’s a salvation prayer at the back of the book that references Jesus’ death on the cross.

Through Joni’s story we are also reminded that God has a plan for each of us even in our bad times.

I would highly recommend Joni Eareckson Tada: The Girl Who Learned to Follow God in a Wheelchair, to any Christian family that wants to read good, wholesome biographies about people being used by God.

Kristyn’s book would also be a nice addition to any Sunday school or children’s church classroom.
