About The Author
Joel Sonnenberg is the victim of a horrendous car accident, the now 26-year-old
who wanted to be a musician, but without hands, or even lips, what could he
possibly play? Sonnenberg eventually realized his instrument was his voice. On
September 15, 1979, en route to Maine, the Sonnenbergs' family car was
rear-ended by an 18-wheeler. When a rescuer pulled the 22-month-old Sonnenberg
from the wreckage, burns covered 85% of his smoldering body. With little hope,
emergency workers transported Sonnenberg to the Shriners Burn Institute in
Boston where he quickly lost his fingers, toes, lips, ears and nose. However
tragic his story, Sonnenberg's recounting of his young life resounds in hope as
he takes every opportunity to speak about how God has given him the courage to
succeed. He is an enthusiastic storyteller, wanting to communicate not only his
sorrows, but also his achievements, which are considerable. Sonnenberg credits
his own optimism and his family's strong support with helping him earn his Eagle
Scout award, serve as his high school's student body president, get elected
Citizen of the Year for western South Carolina and carry the Olympic torch. A
graduate of Taylor University, Sonnenberg continues to use his voice, and his
experiences, to speak regularly across the country of his remarkable life and
unshakable faith.
