Overview

This is an inspirational, insightful, spiritually sound, informative and compelling testimonial of the journey of a Christian mother of two, one with a mental handicap. You will find a wealth of knowledge and information about raising a child with a mental handicap or any child for that matter as well as an abundance of scripturally based conviction and guidance to face such a disability or child rearing in general. This bears witness as to what we can do with all of the troubles this life brings and where we can turn. The writer hopes this book will facilitate in finding more answers for such unparalleled issues that effect many lives and as such are far too urgent to ignore. God blessed parents and gave them one of His most precious gifts; a child to raise and love in the love we know through Christ which never ends, not even when a disability like this one hits home. You will find that every page reverberates and embraces the scripturally significant indications and the belief that children are gifts from God, disabled or not. God's strength is made perfect in our weakness; so imagine His strength in children, particularly those with a mental handicap or any other type of disability. "This book is a cathartic and heartfelt journey through the thoughts of a woman who has come to grips with the gift of her own child of challenge. It is an often taxing and sometimes painful read as Renee opens wide her heart with no strings attached. This will help many parents through the dark days of dealing with the realization that their child will be different from the other children at play." -Keith Wooden Pastor of Ovid Community Evangelical Church, Anderson, Indiana
