Synopsis

If you re anything like Renée was a few years ago, you might not want to be holding this book. Praise? you might be thinking. How can I think about praising God when my life is a total mess?

But there is freedom in choosing to praise God at all times whether you feel like it or not.

Still, I Will Praise is not a how-to manual but a collection of stories from others who have found joy in trusting God through times of insecurity, grief, loss and, in Renée s case, through an injury that robbed her of mobility and her independence.

In a heartfelt, real manner, Renée, a woman who lives what she preaches, presents her journey of learning to give thanks to God in (if not for) every situation. Drawing from the Bible and personal experiences, Renée depicts the challenges and rewards of living a life surrendered to the Lord.

This book might not change your circumstances, but it will renew your perspective, which will refresh your heart and mind.

Through even this, Renée remained hopeful and held tight to her faith. Her unbroken spirit and amazing physical progress baffled the medical field and even surprised those close to her.

Review:

People often ask, Joni, who inspires you? I smile and think of my dear friend, Renée Bondi. Over the years I have met thousands of people in wheelchairs, and none quite possesses the grace and joy, the courage and talents of this remarkable woman. God has gifted Renée in an extraordinary measure, and her story has touched countless lives.

That s why I m so excited about her new book Still, I Will Praise. Between the pages you ll discover a depth and richness to Renée s life, ministry, and marriage, and you will go away all the blessed for it. Thank you, Renée, for opening your heart wider for all to see the grace of God in your life!

When I first saw Renée at a women s event, I was completely riveted by her countenance, words and song; her very being was in continual praise. I couldn t help but look up. I know this book will cause you to do the same.
