When a family includes a special-needs child or adult, one thing is often in short supply hope. The burden of daily and demanding routines can settle like a damp, depressing fog over a family, causing parents and children to forget that hope is even possible. These weary families are desperate for help, and its why I am so excited about my friend David Andersons new book, Forty Days: Finding Refuge in the Ark from the Storms of Disability. In this uplifting daily devotional, families affected by disability will discover a wellspring of spiritual refreshment, as well as a few practical tips to inspire and encourage. Every cul-de-sac in America has a household that needs this book; I highly recommend that you share it with the special-needs families you know!
