With Him We'll Stand

Calligraphy by Stuart Johnson

This book is about Stuart and Nathanael, my twin brothers. They were born nearly 16 weeks premature-- more than 20 years ago.

To no one's surprise Nathanael lived only four days.

Stuart defied both science and reason and eventually came home to our family. He has had cerebral palsy all his life. But he is best defined by his grateful heart, his perseverance, and his native cheery temperament.

Stuart made calligraphy of the 4th verse of I Believe in Christ. "I Believe in Christ" words by Bruce R. McConkie, © Intellectual reserve, Inc. Used by Permission.

The original illustrations are 5" x 10" cut paper collage.
