Mailbag: Great Book Shared... With Duct Tape

It's always special when a reader writes in with their duct tape discoveries. This week Michelle sent a story that highlights some of my very favorite things: duct tape, books, and people overcoming big odds. Here is Michelle's report:

Hello Lee Ann,

Thought of you today! I just finished reading a VERY powerful book entitled Joel. It is an autobiography of a guy named Joel Sonnenberg who was burned nearly to death when he was 22 months old. It is an incredible testimony of God's AMAZING grace and miraculous healing power.

Anyway, toward the end of the book, Joel makes quite a few references to uses of duct tape. One, he has no hands or fingers (burned off), so playing tennis, he duct taped the racquet to his arm, greatly improving his game! Another... holding his college graduation cap to his bald and disfigured head on graduation day (he bent over and demonstrated the amazing ability of the duct tape for everyone at the graduation!). There were a couple others that I don't remember offhand.

But the book itself is an incredibly powerful read if you haven't read it already. Wow..... he is a living miracle!

Have a nice day!
Michelle
