(dis)Abilities and the Gospel

I am so excited to be a part of the (dis)Abilities and the Gospel blog tour.

As the father of a girl with a chromosome disorder, I am acutely aware of the special needs these children have. While my daughter has had some fantastic teachers and church leaders, most people–especially in a volunteer church environment–simply lack the knowledge and skills that could really help them connect with and teach her. To be honest, as a parent I often felt I shared that lack of knowledge and skills, and didn’t really know how to help the teachers help my child.

(dis)Abilities and the Gospel gives me the tools I need to help my child’s teachers and leaders.

The book is very well organized, with Danyelle and Lynn each writing to their strengths, and providing insights, experiences, and guidance that really speak to the heart of teaching the gospel to special needs individuals. There are sections with chapters on General Information and Teaching Strategies, as well as age-specific sections for children, youth, adults, and families. I especially appreciated the chapter on Baptism, as this is something that my wife and I have discussed frequently, and this chapter helped confirm the feelings that we have had.

Within the next few weeks, my daughter will turn twelve and transition from Primary to the Young Women’s program. Today I showed (dis)Abilities and the Gospel to several of her future leaders, and they were all very excited about the book and the information it contains. I am grateful that I can share the wonderful information in this book with them.
