Jozanne Moss and Michael Wenham have only met by email. Both are dying of Motor Neurone Disease. Both are married to remarkable people who support and care for them. Through Jozanne's story they address the myth that pain and suffering are sent by dark powers, and that God is only responsible for the good bits. Michael explains: 'We receive from God everything, both light and shade, praising Him in every circumstance, seeing all of life as His gift from beginning to end.' Michael bases the book around Jozanne's story, telling it in her words and with his commentary. This allows him to address big questions such as 'Why does a good God, if there is one, allow all this pain in his world?' Michael comments: 'God has brought us together with the same illness and the same goal: to encourage and inspire others with the life God has purposed for us.' Their story is sombre yet wonderfully uplifting, made radiant by the faith of the two authors.

Long before this book was written, I had the privelege of meeting Jozanne, her husband Dave, and children Luke & Nicole, through my wife Diana.
Dave and Jozanne had recently moved to "The Wilderness" near Knysna, Eastern Cape, S. Africa.
My wife and I are South African ex-pats, living in Ireland, and were on holiday in our beloved South Africa. We spent a few days living with the Moss family, in what can only be described as the closest place to heaven considering the peace and natural beauty of the Wilderness. At that stage maybe in 2005 Jozanne was a healthy young mother, wife and schoolteacher. Next year we were shocked to hear that Jozanne was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Syndrome. She would send us updates of her condition and how she and her family were adapting to this invader in their lives. She would also share what/how the Lord Jesus was doing to strengthen her specifically and equip them as a family to cope.
As we noted the gradual but desisive erosion of her faculties: firstly losing her mobility, then an inability to even sit unaided, and then the need for a full-time carer.
Jozanne's "letters" sent to us via email became our only precious insight into her life: what she was feeling/perceiving/ and what she felt coming from Jesus to encourage her.
We suggested that she compile all these mails and convert these into a book. She was very brave in her honest account of her journey from her couch, (where she could then only type with a "virtual keyboard" choosing one character at a time, and clicking the mouse. She only had the use of one finger, but no wrist or arm (motor) function. Can you imagine... It would have taken her a few days to write this review!!) into the arms of Jesus.
We can attest to the authenticity of this book, and we endorse "I Choose Everything" to be God-inspired.
