About the Author

Pastor John Ashley grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. After graduating high school, he joined the United States Navy. As a rebellious teenager he got involved in alcohol and drugs while in the service. He spent most of his first year in the Navy in and out of trouble. Until one evening a friend spoke to him about Jesus Christ, a day that would eventually change John Ashley’s life. He trusted Christ as his personal savior that night in the front seat of a Jeep Wagoneer, outside of his barracks in Pensacola, Florida. In the years following, John married his wife, Joann, and they had two sons. Life was going along fine, or so he thought. Their youngest son, Johnny, was born with unique multiple malformations. God had entrusted into their care a special child that would require much of their time and energy, but who would also be used of God to teach them much about God’s grace and strength. It is their firm belief that God gave them their son Johnny, and His strength so that they can use what the Lord has taught them to be a help to others. Everyone has an “In Spite Of” in their lives; some big, some small in comparison, but each one is real to those experiencing them. With great passion and compassion, Pastor Ashley will encourage and challenge those in his audience to see their “In Spite Of” in a different light; not as a problem that God has allowed into their lives, but as an opportunity to see God’s power in operation personally. Pastor Ashley is available to speak in churches, conferences, seminars, workshops and where ever there are people that are hurting.

Johnny Ashley was a REMARKABLE young man!! I loved reading all about him, his creativity, how inspiring he was to all who knew him, etc., etc., etc. If you think you have it bad, please read this book! What a trooper he was for sure! A real example to all of us on a life well lived despite so many difficulties and setbacks.

His wonderful parents, John and Joann, are also sure to inspire and encourage you. This is a very good book that is very well written. I highly recommend it!!

I anticipated buying this book. I wasn't disappointed and found I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. The information found in this book will be helpful for so many people! I've learned what I missed in trying to comfort others in the past, but how I can be more mindful in the future . I appreciate the transparency and love this family had for each other and for others they encountered in similar sufferings and situations.

I too was not disappointed in reading this book

Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. Johnny touched my life in ways he never knew. John & Joann despite all the trials they went through never waivered in their faith. They also were an influence in my life in many ways. I too was not disappointed in reading this book. We ordered extra and gave them away.

An authentic look at God's grace in difficult times

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

In Spite Of is a compelling picture of God's grace through every circumstance of life. I believe this book will be helpful to those going through difficult situations. However, there is great wisdom for those who walk beside others in trying times. I would recommend everyone taking the time to read this compelling and realistic look into the life of Johnny Ashley!

It was amazing! I learned things about my friend, Johnny, that I never knew. And that made me feel closer to him. I know he's doing much better than I am, even after reading that book.

A wonderful story of a family dealing with challenges, that God walks through with them. Lots of tears, but so hopeful. A must read!
