Painting The Whole Picture: Portrait of an Artist with Epilepsy
()
About this ebook
Today, artist Joshua Holmes is secure in Christ, at peace
with His timing, eager to create, and ready to overcome any
life obstacle. In thirty-eight years, he faced a myriad of
struggles, however, before arriving at a place of acceptance.
Born a fighter, from day one he defied misdiagnoses,
cerebral palsy, and epilepsy. After brain surgery, against all
odds he adjusted to new acquired disabilities, including
visual and sensory deficits. He acknowledged stigma,
embraced failure, set creative goals, and discovered his
place in the world.
An academic and professional, he later persisted after
repeated seizures in the classroom and workplace, and
navigated the disarray they left behind. With faith and
endurance, he trusted God to lead him through three
different colleges and into a rewarding freelance career.
In this remarkable autobiography, Joshua Holmes paints a
stellar picture. He recounts a life of trial, accomplishment,
survival, and blessing.
Introspective, informative, fast-paced, and filled with irony,
Painting the Whole Picture is a harrowing tale you won’t want
to put down.
