Resumen del Editor

Why do we struggle and suffer in life? Have you ever asked the question, why did this happen to me? why am I going through this?

At 16 years of age, I was in a car wreck, which turned my life upside down! I went from being a normal teenage boy, to being flat on my back, unable to move anything or even breathe on my own. This would be the starting point to a lifelong journey of learning to live with a disability, while overcoming obstacles and hardships along the way. Through the pain and struggles God revealed his power, purpose, and plan for my life which I call, The Glorious Life of Adversity.

This 30-year journey has developed my faith, taught me perseverance and instilled in me a never quit attitude. My motto is; “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. And where there’s no way, there’s God!” In this book, I give a detailed account of my discovery of God’s purpose and plan for my life with a disability. I discuss how I learned to trust and follow God through life’s struggles and hardships. I also share the joy and countless blessings that he has poured into my life over the years, including the many impossibilities that He made possible.

I reveal my experiences with success and failures as I share the joys and struggles of marriage, sex, parenting, and life with a disability. I disclose both my mountain top experiences of my life’s greatest moments, as well as the deep dark valleys of pain and struggles that I’ve endured. Through it all, God has consistently and faithfully led me to experience "The Glorious Life of Adversity."

Honest, Soul Uplifting, and full of wisdom

I really enjoyed all of it. I learned a lot and was reminded about trusting in God, and was encouraged in how God allows and uses hard things for His glory, AND isn't ever done with out stories and being a BIG God.

A challenging, spiritual and physical journey.

As a physician, and one who loves Jesus, it’s not often that I get to doubly appreciate such a book. But James gives a wonderful account of the many details and challenges encountered by quadriplegic, a lot of which aren’t obvious to even some physicians. More importantly, gives an account of his many victories, through his faith in God and Savior, even without physical healing.

Spiritual Growth

I was impressed by how personal this story became for me. I enjoyed listening to the audio quite a lot. My 3-year-old son once filled in the blank when I turned off the audio during the motto "Where there's a will there's a way, and where there's no way -" and he yelled, "There's God!" This book made me think a lot and has been on my mind. It's encouraged me to increase spiritual conversations taking place in my marriage.
