The remarkable story of Joni Eareckson Tada has become an inspiration to thousands of people around the world. A tragic diving accident when she was a teenager paralyzed Joni immediately. When it was confirmed that she would be a quadriplegic for the rest of her life, she could not understand why God allowed this tragedy.

But with time, Joni began a deeply personal relationship with God. As a result of this new direction, she formed the organization called Joni and Friends to minister to the spiritual and physical welfare of the disabled. She also pursued her artistic gifts, began recording worship songs, learned to drive a specially adapted vehicle, and was married to Ken Tada.
