Overview
Radiate with Life! You have been called from death to life. From doubt to faith. From despair to hope. And from apathy to passion! As you grow in passionate faith, getting to know God more and more, your steps will fall in sync with His. Your identity as His child will become the undeniable truth. Your actions will stem from holy confidence. And you will radiate with His life! From her own quest toward a more vibrant faith, Joni Eareckson Tada shares daily inspiration to guide your journey. You'll discover that, although you often can't see beyond the next mountain peak or past the pain of the road's most recent dip, God's map of a lifetime leads to the most important of all treasures - an energetic, everlasting, eternal communion with Himself.

Joni Eareckson Tada is the founder of the Joni and Friends International Disability Center, an organization accelerating Christian outreach in the disability community. She is an accomplished artist and speaker and the author of over thirty books, including 31 Days Toward Intimacy with God, 31 Days Toward Overcoming Adversity, Diamonds in the Dust, and When God Weeps. Joni and her husband, Ken, live in Calabasas, California.
When I was working on my third book, Choices…Changes, there was one episode I especially enjoyed writing.
You guessed it. It was the last episode, about my husband.
It was great fun to sit at the computer with my friend and describe Ken Tada. How he looked the first time I saw him…how he talked…how he smiled…how he carried himself…how he moved when he played racquetball. The words about our dating days flowed effortlessly.
Day 1
Writing about our wedding day and marriage was pure joy. Obviously, I didn't need a thesaurus to think of adjectives. I wanted to go on and on.
And sometimes I did! My friend would have to say, “Uh, Joni, don't you think you've talked enough about Ken's muscles?” Or, “Joni, that's the fourth time in this chapter you've told us how handsome Ken is.”
Isn't that funny? I just couldn't say enough good stuff about my husband.
I'll bet it's the same with those you love, too. You want others to know how special that person is–whether it's your mate, your friend, your child, your niece, your nephew, or your grandchild. The best part is finding someone genuinely interested in listening to your glowing descriptions. It actually multiplies your pleasure.
Listen in as the author of Hebrews talks about his best Friend, Jesus. It's as if someone approached him and said, “You seem to put a great deal of stock in this Person, Jesus Christ. Just who is He, anyway? Why are you so excited about Him? Can you describe Him?”
Could he ever! Having found a listening ear, the writer can't say enough. Just look at the seven descriptive phrases he uses in the first four verses of his book.
Jumping right in, the writer tells us Jesus is the “appointed heir of all things” (v. 2). Right off the top he lifts Jesus to where He belongs–over all things.
But that's only the beginning. Next the writer reminds us that through the spoken word of Jesus, “he made the universe” (v. 2).
Warming to his subject, the author declares Jesus the very “radiance of God's glory” (v. 3). Just as the brilliance of the sun cannot be separated from the sun itself, Jesus cannot be separated from the glory of the Father–He is God Himself.
Not only does Jesus share in the glory of God, He is “the exact representation of his being” (v. 3). Like a stamp that leaves its impression on warm wax, Jesus is the exact representation of the character and nature of God.
The writer can't stop. Superlatives keep pouring from his pen. He affirms that this mighty Son of God is “sustaining all things by his powerful word” (v. 3). He created the world by the word of His mouth, and now He holds it all together.
But Jesus Christ is more than some awesome, distant Deity, the writer hastens to add. He took notice of our helpless plight and became our Savior. He “provided purification for sins” through the sacrifice of His life on the cross (v. 3). By His death, Christ paid the incalculable penalty for our sins and satisfied every just demand of a holy God.
His work of redemption complete, Jesus “sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven” (v. 3).
With the ink flowing fast on his parchment, the writer goes on and on. Chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 3, chapter 4…Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
How is it with you? Are you looking for listening ears, anxious to go on and on about the Lord Jesus and what He means to you?
If you find you don't have enough adjectives to describe Him, I'd like to introduce you to the author of Hebrews. Sorry I can't give you his name; he got so excited about his Subject he forgot to introduce himself. Maybe the two of you can get away together for a few minutes today.
There's nothing that excited writer would love more than a listening ear.
The Glorious Pursuit
Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again….We are therefore Christ's ambassadors.
2 C o r i n t h i a n s 5 : 1 4 — 1 5 , 2 0
Jesus is the reason for everything–not just everything in our lives, but everything in the universe and throughout all of history. Of all persons and topics, He is the one most worthy of our words. Share a few of those life-giving words with someone else. And keep coming back to the writers of Scripture. They long to tell you more, so you can know Him better. So you can sound His praises still more, and more, and more…

 | Jodi sends out another powerful message Apr 18, 2007 |
When a diving accident in 1967 robbed Joni of the use of her hands and legs, she found herself sequestered in a hospital ward at the age of 17, depressed and discouraged.
Friends from her church rallied and offered help and practical assistance. Seeing how these friends made all the difference in her life, Joni gained a vision to help other churches across the world reach out to families like hers.
Joni holds paintbrushes in her mouth and paints pictures most of us could not paint using our hands. A gifted speaker and author, she is a true testimony of loving the Lord and doing His work.
Journey now along the pathway following the sweet, enticing fragrance of heaven.
In every life there are times when the road narrows and the skies grow dark. Seasons of suffering are as certain as the glorious destination before you. Yet you are called to go, and the Source of your spirit's restoration promises to never leave your side. When the storm rages and there is no end in sight, how do you survive? Where do you turn and in whom do you place your trust?
31 Days toward Passionate Faith contains daily inspiration from Joni Eareckson Tada, who gently guides your steps to a closer, more intimate walk with your Savior. And as you travel, new life--His life!--is freely yours as a gift. No stranger to adversity, Joni Eareckson Tada offers daily inspiration that shows you the remarkable in the midst of the impossible.
