Kristyn Getty's New Children's Book Celebrates the Ministry of Joni Eareckson Tada

Kristyn Getty's new illustrated children's biography about Joni Eareckson Tada is out now! Joni Eareckson Tada: The Girl Who Learned to Follow God in a Wheelchair teaches children about trusting God and loving others through the story of Joni's lively childhood, life-changing accident, and the powerful ways in which God has used Joni through it all to share His love with millions of people.
In this beautifully illustrated hardback, Kristyn Getty recounts Joni Eareckson Tada's lively childhood, life-changing accident, and challenging adjustment to a very different way of life, and shares how God has used her in amazing ways to bless others.
Children will hear how, when a terrible diving accident left her severely disabled, Joni was left with a lot of questions about God. It was easy to trust him when she was healthy and happy, but did she want to follow him now that life was so hard?
As young ones discover how Joni held on to her faith and used her circumstances to love others, they'll be inspired about the great things they can do for God, like being a friend to those with disabilities or in hard situations.
As well as being an award-winning hymn writer and a mother of four, Kristyn writes as a good friend of Joni, bringing a uniquely personal touch to the story.
This book is part of a series designed to show kids how God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Download free extras, such as worksheets, to help children interact with the true story and think of ways in which they can also follow God and encourage his people today.
These stories can be read to young children or enjoyed independently by early readers. The free extras make these stories useful for homeschool, Sunday school, missions events and more.
