Story Behind the Book
Phil Callaway wrote this book after a five-year journey he and his wife
embarked upon when she began having seizures. He discovered that when
life throws you curve balls, juices lemons in your eyes, scrunches you
in a knuckle sandwich...the last thing you want to do is laugh. And at
the moment we realize that life can just plain stink, "this book helps
us know where to go from that point," he says. Celebrities like Dave
Dravecky, Barbara Johnson, Gloria Gaither, and Joni Eareckson Tada have
endorsed Callaway's positive approach to trials. "Everything Phil
Callaway writes is full of life because he's discovered a fabulous
secret: The joy of Christ doesn't go away, even when life is a mess,"
says evangelist Luis Palau.
