About the Author

Emerging from a catastrophic car accident resulting in six dozen operations, including the amputation of both legs, Gracie Rosenberger now steps onto the stages of the world to share the same hope she relies upon.

Performing since childhood, Gracie’s formal study as a vocal performance major helped develop her powerful voice that has brought audiences across the country to their feet. But Gracie counts as her most moving invitation the request by the commanding general of Walter Reed Army Medical Center to perform at the groundbreaking ceremony for the training center for military personnel experiencing limb loss.

Recognizing the need for quality prosthetic limbs in developing countries, Gracie and her husband, Peter, founded the evangelical outreach, Standing with Hope, which equips and trains local workers to build high quality prosthetic limbs for their own people. Gracie and Peter, along with their sons, Parker and Grayson live in Nashville, TN

Editorial Reviews

Is there a God Who cares? Gracie (and Peter's) life-story says YES YES and YES again! Love this book! It is well written and real. It reads like a roller-coaster ride so you might want to buckle-up...it's a bumpy read!

"One thing I'm learning in this walk with Christ: it's not about our strengths, but rather when we offer our weaknesses in God's service; that's where the real triumphs occur." -- Gracie Rosenberger

Theresa Fulton

Gracie's story is a compelling example of grit and grace. She and Peter have bared their souls in this gut-wrenching tale of the car accident that nearly took Gracie's life - and the long journey of pain and healing that has shaped her life since 1983. While it is difficult to comprehend the daily pain Gracie lives with, it is beautiful to read how God has sustained her and her family in the midst of that pain.
