The Glorious Life of Adversity: Where there's a will, there's a way! Where there's NO way, there's God!

by James Piazza

Why do we struggle and suffer in life?

Have you ever asked the question, why did this happen to me?
Or 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 thirty-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.

This book earned five stars by making me laugh and cry and ponder my own sufferings in light of God’s sovereignty and the glories of adversity. I am interested to read a review from someone who does not know the author. I went to high school with James and hung out in the same Walmart parking lot. I laughed when he mentions the wheelchair swagger because it brought such a vivid picture to my mind. I remember that rolling swagger!

That being said, what I loved about this book is the focus on God’s continual drawing of James into a deep relationship of faith. In every single chapter, James turns the focus back to God and His Word and how He provides for every need of those who follow Him. I love how James encouraged others with disabilities to trust God and take leaps of faith.

Thank you for sharing your story, James! Especially the story of Charli stealing your hat…. 😂
