From the Heart – Real Families, Real Needs
Ken and I have been to enough Family Retreats to see that Joni and Friends is an extraordinary ministry for marriages! Everything from autism to Alzheimer’s has the potential to rip a marriage apart – when a disability takes center stage, husbands and wives can crumble under the weight of constant expectations.
When God allows ‘disability’ in a family, it presents everyone with inconvenient and unwanted interruptions. But growth in Christ means learning how to deal lovingly and compassionately with these interruptions. The result? A stronger, healthier family that knows how to persevere with a hard-fought-for smile!
It doesn’t come easily, though. So, Joni and Friends (in partnership with Focus on the Family) wrote an exceptional new book, Real Families, Real Needs… A Compassionate Guide for Families Living with Disability. This remarkable resource provides answers that spring from biblical truth, practical ideas, and expectant hope. It’s an outstanding book you’ll want to give every special-needs family you know, so I encourage you to get your copy today – and remember, all proceeds directly support the disability outreach of Joni and Friends.
