It is a mixture of their story and God's story and the way in which his has shaped theirs.With clarity and biblical insight they share their experience of grief and worship struggle and hope. As well as reflecting on the specific challenges of raising children with special needs they speak to broader questions as well: the problem of suffering building a marriage under pressure fighting for joy and trusting in the goodness of God.This is not just a book for families and friends of special needs children but for all who have been thrown a curve ball in life and need to know how to lament worship pray and hope.
