With more than 200,000 copies sold, Diamonds in the Dust has become a devotional favorite. Joni shows us precious jewels of biblical truth that lie scattered amidst the gravel of life's dusty road.'The book you hold in your hands is my treasure trove of diamond chips I've collected over the years,' says Joni. 'I've carefully selected favorite gems, ones I've often held to the light, turned this way and that to admire their beauty, diamonds that have made me rich in faith and wealthy in hope.'These 366 meditations uncover a wealth of promise, of eternal truths waiting to transform the events of our lives into facets that catch and reflect God's glory. Written from the perspective of a woman who traverses life in a wheelchair, this book wipes away the surface grit of suffering and circumstances to reveal the radiant hope that each of us can claim.Diamonds in the Dust takes theology and gives it flesh, breath, and emotion.

Because of its beautiful theology of suffering, if Diamonds in the Dust were the only accomplishment of Joni Eareckson Tada, it would be highly prized by its readers for the unique beatitude of the author's soul. But when the reader remembers that these remarkably faith-filled devotionals radiated from the soul and heart and mind of a person who, though paralyzed from the shoulders down since 1967, ministers to others going through a period of pain or suffering in their lives, then her thoughts become singularly precious.
Words inadequately describe the almost supernatural courage of this inspiring Christian woman to glorify God through her sufferings. In Diamonds in the Dust Joni personally affirms that in losing something temporal we can grasp something eternal.
