His Name Is Joel: Searching for God in a Son's Disability

Rating:
Summary: A moving and intimate look at life with a disabled son.
Review: Dyer Bolduc brings the reader into her family and her heart as she tells the story of her son's autism and retardation. Her scriptural references and prayers add to what is already a deeply spiritual journey. I didn't turn a page without learning something new or being touched. Any mother can relate to her struggles.

Summary: His Name Is Joel
Review: I have finally found a book written by a mom who was a Christian before the birth of her son Joel.This mom tells of her journey of
of raising her son(from birth) to be included in her church family and of the rejection of that same community by their indifference. Finding a church when you have a child with special needs is still a challenge in the year 2001! I have met Kathy and know that her journey with her son and finding a welcoming church are not over but,she is hopeful. This book will affirm anyone else who has been here. Her other book A Place Called Acceptance is also another five star read.

Review: If you want to know how you can really help someone who has a family member with disabilities, you must read this book. It is funny and sad. Mrs. Bolduc transforms her feelings into easily read words. You will want to meet this special mom and child for yourself!
