Acerca de esta escucha
He was told he'd never walk again. She was losing hope that she'd ever feel whole again. This is their miraculous true story of defying the impossible.
"In my very first impression of Chris, I was blown away by his determination to stay positive, do the work, and trust that God had a bigger story in mind.... [T]his book is a master class in the power of perseverance." (Tim Tebow)
Quadriplegics simply do not walk again - yet millions watched as Chris Norton defied incredible odds and took step by impossible step across his graduation stage. With his fiancée, Emily, by his side, those unbelievable steps became the start of an extraordinary journey for them both. Told from both of their unique perspectives, this moving story invites you to find, as Chris and Emily have, that God can transform our lowest points into life's greatest gifts.
In a moment, Chris went from a talented college football player with a promising future to a quadriplegic with a three-percent chance of ever moving or feeling anything below his neck, much less walking again. Determined to prove the doctors wrong, he pushed himself through grueling, daily workouts to achieve his goal four years later: walking the stage to receive his college diploma with Emily's help, and to the world's astonished applause.
Meanwhile, Emily faced her own challenges as she sunk into a deep battle against anxiety and depression, despite her life's outward blessings. Day by day, decision by decision, Chris and Emily committed themselves to taking the extra step, trusting God, and leaning on the help of others. In a story of courageous faith and grit, this extraordinary couple's journey ultimately led them to tackle the seven longest yards - down the wedding aisle and into a new life together.
And what a new life it is: Chris and Emily have adopted five beautiful girls and welcomed foster children - 17 and counting! - into their home and hearts. Let this audiobook be your inspiration for defying your own impossible, and finding joy on the other side.
Witness the special moments in Chris and Emily's story with photos available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Just weeks after World War II ends, three women from different corners of the world arrive in Germany to run a Displaced Persons camp.

She hopes working at the camp will bring her closer to her parents, last seen before the war began. For Delphine, Paris has been a city of ghosts after her husband and son died in Dachau.

With no way out and her identity burned so often that she had no proof she even existed, all that was left was a girl from nowhere.

Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was "just" an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't? Lucy Worsley's biography is not just of a massively, internationally successful writer. It's also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman. With access to rarely seen personal letters and papers, Lucy Worsley's biography is both authoritative and entertaining and makes us realize what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was—truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century.

Historia
Laya Marston’s husband, Cameron, a daredevil enthusiast, was the complete opposite of her, ready and willing to dive off a cliff-face or parachute across a canyon - and Laya loved him for it. But she was different: pragmatic, regimented, devoted to her career and to supporting Cameron from the sidelines of his death-defying feats. Opposites attract, right? But when Cameron dies tragically, Laya becomes lost in denial, living in the delusion that Cameron will come back to her.

In that moment, Amy chose to live.

Raised in this environment by a single mom (his dad left him at the young age of three to reside in the Ohio State Penitentiary), Cody grew up fighting, and he grew up wild. His future seemed predestined to end in the coal mines or in prison. Thankfully, Cody had visions of something more. His American dream? Mixed martial arts.

This is what Laura Sobeich prayed when she found out her 17-year-old son had only one year to live. With this desperate prayer, she released her son to God’s will. At that point, Zach Sobiech was just another teenager battling cancer. When his mother told him to think about writing good-bye letters to family and friends, he decided instead to write songs. One of them, "Clouds", captured hearts and changed not one life but millions, making him an international sensation.

Now, in First Freedom, nationally syndicated columnist and veteran writer David Harsanyi explores the ways in which firearms have helped preserve our religious, economic, and cultural institutions for more than two centuries.

“What the skeleton is to anatomy, the peasant is to history, its essential hidden support.” For over the past century and a half, and still more rapidly in the last seventy years, the world has become increasingly urban, and the peasant way of life—the dominant way of life for humanity since agriculture began well over 6,000 years ago—is disappearing. In this new history of peasantry, social historian Patrick Joyce aims to tell the story of this lost world and its people, and how we can commemorate their way of life.

Weaving together the threads of three generations of her family story with Europe’s process of post-war reckoning, Schwarz explores how millions were seduced by ideology.

Although half of the population, women were treated as second class citizens in the United States and denied the fundamental right to vote. In 1872, Susan B. Anthony dared to cast her vote in a national election. She was arrested, tried, and convicted of the crime of "voting without having a lawful right to vote". This thrilling, firsthand account from suffragist Doris Stevens details the organized protests that hundreds of courageous women from across the country undertook in DC between 1913 and 1919, as well as the brutal consequences they had to endure.

We think of Alexander Graham Bell as the inventor of the telephone, but that’s not how he saw his own career. As the son of a deaf woman and, later, husband to another, his goal in life from adolescence was to teach deaf students to speak. Even his tinkering sprang from his teaching work; the telephone had its origins as a speech reading machine. The Invention of Miracles takes a new look at an American icon, revealing the astonishing true genesis of the telephone and its connection to another, far more disturbing legacy of Bell’s.

A story of faith, hope and love.
This is a must read or listen for everyone. When perseverance and tenacity are not enough to get through physical and mental challenges you need a growing relationship with God. Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT

Amazing story and it can change your life
I loved this book! I am so glad that the Norton’s were courageous enough to share their story. I think that this will touch so many lives. I laughed, I cried, and did everything in between. Their story is so real and full of passion. You won’t regret getting this book.

Inspirational and Encouraging
The Seven Longest Yards gave me such hope and inspired me to not just believe in God, but believe God for my life’s circumstances. Anyone who wants to be inspired and transformed should read this book.

Godly portrayal of what true love is when God is the center of it.
What an inspiring book! This is such a beautiful love story but an even better example of what a loving marriage with God at the center of it truly is. I’m a 33 year old man that geared up a few times because God overwhelmed my heart with His spirit and showed me a few flaws that I desperately need to correct. Thank you to Chris and Emily for your honest and heartfelt story. I love seeing that every story isn’t perfect and it’s ok to be imperfect. It defines us, it makes us better than we could have ever imagined. Thank you for allowing God to use you in ways that you never thought possible. This just proves what the Bible says,”With God, all things are possible.”

God is in the details
I loved the beautiful story or Chris and Emily. It was real, heart felt and thought provoking. There is truly more to this life than living and The Norton’s are amazing examples of those that open their eyes outside of their own personal problems and help others. Life is hard but a lot easier with God. Thank you for the reminder. I’m changed because I listened and opened my mind to change as I listened! Thank you!!!

Incredibly uplifting and inspiring
I’ve been following Emily and Chris on social media for a while now and I can’t emphasize enough how happy I am to have heard their story. They consistently had me going between being on the edge of my seat, tearing up, and smiling and laughing on my commutes. Highly recommend a listen.
