Terrific as a gift
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Please keep in mind that this book is most appropriate for parents of children with Down Syndrome. I had bought it, hoping it was applicable to various disabilities, but with a few exceptions, Down Syndrome was the primary disability, as well as anencephaly.In any case, a disability is a disability, and this book is perfect to give as a gift to someone who recently discovered that their child is "special". That is always a traumatic discovery, and coping is so difficult. This book will bring many tears of sadness, but when you finish reading it - - you will find that God has indeed blessed you, and that you have plenty of the two most important things you will need: love, and hope. Terrific buy!

Wonderful book and CD! He captures all the feelings and emotions we feel inside when we discover we have a special needs child. Our daughter has Down syndrome and we were so frightened when we found out...this song reminds us that God creates all of us in His Image! We are so blessed... our daughter brings us nothing but JOY! I would reccomend it to all who have found out they have a special child coming into their lives!

As the mother of a special child, this book touched the depths of my soul. How heartwarming it is to realize that other parents view themselves as blessed by God to have the opportunity to experience the "hidden miracles," even if for a short period. I recommend this book to anyone who is struggling for understanding.
A gentle blessing . . .
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
As a chaplain of a hospital with 65 neo-natal intensive care beds, I bought this book looking for inspiration I could share with parents as they faced something totally unknown to them before. I was not disappointed. The stories are varied, but each one timely and can be regarded as reminders to each reader that there is a creator that never makes mistakes and can challenge each one of us to be looking for gentle blessings in all of creation. I look forward to using this book with the staff and the parents I have the priviledge to work with every day and be a witness to God's miracles that don't stay hidden.
