Joni Eareckson Tada
Swimming Against the Tide
Catherine MacKenzie
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. However, all that changed one morning when an innocent dive turned into a tragic accident. Joni’s story is a wonderful testimony to God’s grace and power in someone’s life.

"TRY ANOTHER TRAILBLAZER:
Corrie Ten Boom - The Watchmaker's Daughter, by Jean Watson.
This title is an ideal companion volume to Swimming against the Tide. Corrie was one of Joni's own heroines and the two women knew each other well before Corrie's death."
