Description: From his early childhood, Nathan was bursting with creativity and energy, while struggling with learning issues as well as anxiety and OCD problems. He was often labeled "bad," or as being in need of "fixing." Sally dared to believe that Nathan's differences could be part of an intentional design from a loving Creator with a plan for his life. She trusted that the things that made him different were the very things that could make him great. Now she shows you how to dare to love and nurture the "different" one in your life.
