The inspiring true story of one man-and the extraordinary community that made the impossible possible...
One moment changed everything.
At just nineteen years old, Bill Atkinson suffered a devastating accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. His dream of becoming a priest seemingly vanished overnight. No quadriplegic had ever been ordained in the history of the Catholic Church, and most people assumed Bill's calling had come to an end.
They were wrong.
Drawing on dozens of interviews and never-before-shared stories, The Strength of Others chronicles the extraordinary life of the man who became the first quadriplegic to be ordained to the Catholic priesthood. Yet this book is about far more than a historic achievement. It captures the unwavering faith, quiet courage, enduring friendships, and remarkable community that made a true miracle possible.
Discover a story that will challenge your assumptions, strengthen your faith, and remind you that no one is ever truly alone.
