In a world where stories of faith and resilience shine a light on the human spirit, Chad Judice’s trilogy stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration. His three books—Waiting for Eli: A Father's Journey from Fear to Faith, Eli's Reach, and Growing With Eli: Our Journey Into Life and Light—offer readers a profound and heartfelt exploration of the trials and triumphs faced by his family.
