Talk about a life changing moment. Five years after autism stole Josiah Cullen’s voice, something  miraculous happened.

“While reading to him from the children’s Bible about how Jesus healed the blind man, I waited for him to spell the word ‘heal’ on big alphabetical buttons of his iPad,” remembers his mom Tahni, a graduate of the University of Mary. “Instead he typed something different, and my mouth dropped open.”

Josiah had typed “God is a good gift giver.”

Josiah’s new ability to communicate changed the family’s life again. Tahni details it all in her new book, Josiah’s Fire: Autism Stole His Words, God Gave Him a Voice. With author Cheryl Ricker’s help, Tahni’s book came to life and is capturing the attention of people across the country. Tahni has been on national television and radio shows talking about her book and about her son Josiah, opening hearts and minds about autism and about God.

“I don’t have desire to be famous,” says Tahni. “My walk is to be obedient to God. I have to trust in him, however that plays out.”

Tahni’s book is available on Amazon and at  Barnes and Noble. Learn more at josiahsfire.com and on Facebook.
