Description

Would you like to be inspired? How do you live a full, fearless life? Fear robs you of joy. So, what can you do to stop worrying? Jo Franz has been learning to do that very thing throughout 30 years of living a life of adventure—with unpredictable MS, as well as various other struggles! Let her share her life lessons with you as you go on a journey with her. Most of us experience some sadness or tragedy in our lives. Jo Franz understands others’ hurts because she’s experienced many. As a child, she was victimized by others, though she suppressed the memories for many years. As an adult, strange symptoms resulted in a diagnosis of MS. Then Jo’s husband, a pastor, began an affair with a teenager and divorced Jo—choices that devastated him with regret—but forced her to grow and change. When she remarried, she found herself with an emotionally and verbally abusive second husband. But through it all, Jo searched to understand God’s outlook on her struggles and to trust Him with her life. Jo’s story will encourage you to live fearlessly and be inspired whether or not you are struggling! Soar Unafraid inspires because with each new ordeal, Jo learns to see herself realistically, to rely on God’s truth, and to seek to be Christlike. Her vulnerability shows how one grows—admitting mistakes, working through them, and accepting God’s grace. Joy permeates her life as she finds her purpose in God. Jo’s story is one of healed relationships as she and her second husband, Ray, learn to defuse anger (his triggered her long-hidden memories), communicate clearly, and develop a bonded marriage while they work through their past hurts together. She is miraculously healed at the bottom of the stairs after a head-first tumble when she cries out, “God, help me!” because she feels nothing from the neck down. Though she has to learn to stand and walk again, God spared her from quadriplegia. And that’s not all she deals with—while learning to give thanks in all things and praise God because of who He is. Happiness and adventure also abound in this story that reads like a novel. Whether one lives with infertility, depression, illness, parenting stress, unhappy family situations, abuse, or life-threatening trauma, or just wants to be inspired, Jo illustrates how to soar unafraid.
