A teenage trip to the beach, a diving accident, and a life of disability testifies to the goodness of God.
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.
