God's Immeasurable Grace. It's the most important ingredient for the perfect love story.

Tragic circumstances often stretch relationships to their breaking point. But God's grace is always more than enough. For Ken and Joni Eareckson Tada, enduring quadriplegia, chronic pain, cancer, and depression only made their love more vibrant through thirty years of marriage. Discover a bond that has seen the worst and claimed the best. With sixteen pages of photos, peek into Joni and Ken’s challenges firsthand. Discover God's immeasurable grace along the way, as their story inspires and enriches your own relationships.

A love untold. Until now.

Ken underestimated the challenges of marrying a woman with quadriplegia. Even the honeymoon wasn't easy. Through their years together, Ken becomes increasingly overwhelmed by the unceasing demands of caring for a woman with chronic, extreme, nightmarish pain. He sinks into depression. Though living under the same roof, they drift apart. In the midst of their deepest struggles with depression and pain, Ken and Joni return to the one true answer to their struggles. One that is far from a denial of Joni's diagnosis or thoughts of how wonderful a quick exit to heaven would be. In their darkest hour, Ken and Joni encounter a heavenly visitation that changes their lives--and maybe yours too--forever.

Just When I Thought There Was A Perfect Marriage..

Joni and Ken Tada seemed to me, as an outsider, that they had a perfect loving marriage, despite Joni's very dire disabilities. But I should have know better that sinful man and sinful woman do not have anything "perfect".... not until we have gone to glory with our Lord.

However, they are such a lovely, inspiring couple, who were not afraid to talk publically about the challenges of marriage, even between a Godly man and woman. They were very personal, revealed some of their sins and brought things into perspective when I look at my imperfect marriage to my beloved husband. I've learned, from reading this book, that prayer is SO very important and I need to pray for my husband much more than I have in the past. I hope that many couples read this book. Whether Christian or not, I believe they would plant seeds in the heart of an unbelieving couple. So this would make a great gift for an unbelieving couple who are struggling with their marriage, or, a Christian couple who are struggling!

We see a lot of ourselves in this very poignant story. And as I write this review, Joni and Ken are still with us on this earth. They can teach us a lot... because, you know, they really love Jesus.

A blessed and truthful book, I just loved it!

So encouraging!

I always wondered about the Tada marriage, thinking they must be some exceptional saints to make it work. It was great to get a peek behind the curtain and see that they struggled with some of the same issues other couples do. Joni’s celebrity and busy life were probably as big an obstacle as her disability. And Ken also struggled with depression and other personal issues. Amazingly, her cancer diagnosis drew them closer and helped Ken see the role God had for him. They do not minimize her suffering, which is an encouragement to others who are dealing with cancer, extreme pain, and other problems. But they always hold up Christ as our ultimate hope. So encouraging!

Faith, Perseverance, Strength, and Commitment

Joni and Ken’s marriage and life journey demonstrates the true meaning of our marriage vows; for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, til death due us part. It’s very inspiring! I had to read this book after reading Joni. Thank you Joni and Ken! LAC
