Would you work for no pay? You might if you were compensated by knowing that you’re making a difference. As Mark Twain said, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” We’d like to introduce you to Frank Sonnenberg who is a testament to living life with a purpose.
The Bookshelf Café: You’ve written nine books. When did you know that you wanted to be an author?
Frank Sonnenberg:The truth is, I don’t consider myself an author. I know people who can write elegant prose without even trying. That’s not me. I labor over it. I have so much that I want to share — so I muddle through the process.

Joel Sonnenberg
American motivational speaker (born 1977)
Joel Sonnenberg (born November 1977) is a Christian motivational speaker. He is a graduate of Taylor University as well as Columbia International University's seminary program.
On September 15, 1979, when Sonnenberg was 22 months old, he was involved in a devastating accident that left him with burns over 85% of his body. Sonnenberg was burned after a tractor trailer crashed into the car he was in, resulting in the rupturing of its fuel tank. Sonnenberg was rescued from the burning car by a stranger. The tissue damage suffered included the loss of the fingers on his right hand, his left hand entirely, his ears, and damage to his skull.[1][2][3][4][5]
It took Sonnenberg many years to recover from the burn injuries.[6] He endured 45 surgeries and the emotional pain of dealing with disfigurement, but through the support of faith, family, and friends, he went on to become a student leader, all-conference athlete and internationally sought speaker.[7]
