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

Michael Beates's concern with disability issues began nearly 30 years ago when his eldest child was born with multiple profound disabilities. Now, as more families like Michael's are affected by a growing number of difficulties ranging from down syndrome to autism to food allergies, the need for church programs and personal paradigm shifts is greater than ever. Working through key Bible passages on brokenness and disability while answering hard questions, Michael offers here helpful principles for believers and their churches. He shows us how to embrace our own brokenness and then to embrace those who are more physically and visibly broken, bringing hope and vision to those of us who need it most.

Spirit and Sacrament by pastor and author Andrew Wilson is an impassioned call to join together two traditions that are frequently and unnecessarily kept separate. It is an invitation to pursue the best of both worlds in worship, the Eucharistic and the charismatic, with the grace of God at the center. Wilson envisions church services in which healing testimonies and prayers of confession coexist, the congregation sings When I Survey the Wondrous Cross followed by Happy Day, and creeds move the soul while singing moves the body. He imagines a worship service that could come out of the book of Acts: Young men see visions, old men dream dreams, sons and daughters prophesy, and they all come together to the same Table and go on their way rejoicing. In short, Spirit and Sacrament is an appeal to bring out of the church's storehouse all of its treasures, so that God's people can worship our unrivaled Savior with sacraments and spiritual gifts, raised hands and lowered faces.

A guide to children's ministry that serves families with special needs Jesus set a high standard when He said "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." The call is not limited to children who will sit quietly at His feet and listen, who color between the lines, who raise their hands and wait to be called upon, and who work at grade level. Children's ministries are responsible to be ready to bring children with disabilities to Jesus' feet too. Every Child Welcome is the guide for leaders and volunteers to assist in purposeful planning and skill development for a ministry inclusive of children with unique needs. Experienced children's ministry leaders, and parents of special-needs children themselves, the authors are superbly equipped to offer a thoughtful, thorough approach to creating a positive environment for children--one where all children will be able to digest the important concepts being taught. For leaders and volunteers, Every Child Welcome will provide the knowledge and tools to * create a welcoming environment before kids arrive * help children learn more effectively by connecting new information to what they already know * reinforce the main idea of a lesson, building background knowledge and reviewing important concepts * supplement instruction with hands-on activities to increase attention and participation * reinforce and wrap up an activity effectively
