A must have for all parents, pastors and leaders of churches/temples in enabling our children to be a part of the faith as well as teaching others in the church/temple tolerance and acceptance of those who are "different" from the "norm" (whatever different or norm are).

The book begins with a moving forward by Joni Eareckson Tada who herself suffered a tragic accident as a teen that left her paralyzed. This book gives very practical and step-by-step information about starting a special needs ministry at your church. "Why do we need a special needs ministry?" "What do families with special needs children REALLY need?" Chapter 3 offers a checklist as you prepare to launch a special needs ministry. There is practical advice on getting the word out to your community, partnering with other special needs agencies in your community, and even a section to answer questions about facilities and liability. Case studies show how other churches have done it and there are 4 sermon outlines and 10 bulletin inserts. Kenneth Lay, a retired minister, makes this profound statement in the final chapter, "Special needs children can play a far greater role in our lives and in the lives of our churches if we allow them to. Children with special needs sometimes are ignored and not always loved. The blessing is ours when we love them, accept them, cry with them, and allow them to fulfill their mission. I wish I had done more." This book will launch you into 'doing more'.
