Too long and too many stories

There is a bit of helpful advice but it gets very repetetive. I struggled to finish this book. There's not enough practical information and too many stories. Geared towards kids who have Asperger's and not much advice on how to help kids with more severe forms of autism. I love Temple Grandin and the idea of the loving push but the book could have been much shorter.

Inspiring!

There are so many things I never considered when it comes to the amount of work needed to bring about restoration after stroke. I tried placing myself in Katherine's shoes, & all I can say is praise God for the grace He delivers to this couple to keep pressing forward in their life journey, even though none of it looks like they once believed it would be. The perspective they have chosen to accept is both inspiring & beautiful. I have learned very much, & I look forward to their next book! God bless this family & continue to restore Katherine's body to the design & purpose it was created for, & according to His Word - in Jesus name! Amen!

Intelligent!

This is a very interesting and encouraging read! The narrator is dry though and could vary her voice more.
