Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Beates's concern with disability issues began nearly 30 years ago when his eldest child was born with multiple profound disabilities. Now, as more families like Michael's are affected by a growing number of difficulties ranging from down syndrome to autism to food allergies, the need for church programs and personal paradigm shifts is greater than ever. Working through key Bible passages on brokenness and disability while answering hard questions, Michael offers here helpful principles for believers and their churches. He shows us how to embrace our own brokenness and then to embrace those who are more physically and visibly broken, bringing hope and vision to those of us who need it most.

Download or read book Mental Health and the Church written by Stephen Grcevich, MD and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The church across North America has struggled to minister effectively with children, teens, and adults with common mental health conditions and their families. One reason for the lack of ministry is the absence of a widely accepted model for mental health outreach and inclusion. In Mental Health and the Church: A Ministry Handbook for Including Children and Adults with ADHD, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, and Other Common Mental Health Conditions, Dr. Stephen Grcevich presents a simple and flexible model for mental health inclusion ministry for implementation by churches of all sizes, denominations, and organizational styles. The model is based upon recognition of seven barriers to church attendance and assimilation resulting from mental illness: stigma, anxiety, self-control, differences in social communication and sensory processing, social isolation and past experiences of church. Seven broad inclusion strategies are presented for helping persons of all ages with common mental health conditions and their families to fully participate in all of the ministries offered by the local church. The book is also designed to be a useful resource for parents, grandparents and spouses interested in promoting the spiritual growth of loved ones with mental illness.

Download or read book Let All the Little Children Come to Me written by Malesa Breeding and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-03-17 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is said that everyone has a story to tell, a voice that deserves to be heard. There are many thousands of children with special needs who have long been ignored, rejected and excluded from our schools, our communities, and, sadly, from our Bible classes. We believe that these children are loved deeply and completely by our Lord and that they too are called to come unto Him. This book speaks to the heart and to the head. Teachers and pastors will find inspiration and information, reminding them that God calls us to include all children, no matter the challenge. In addition, the book includes wonderfully practical elements with many ideas that can be easily integrated into any classroom. By combining philosophy and strategies, this book will equip the typical church volunteer teacher to meet the needs of all the children in her classroom.

Download or read book God Plays Piano Too written by Brett Webb-Mitchell and published by Crossroad Publishing. This book was released on 1993 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joshua is a young boy with an extraordinary gift for playing the piano. He is also autistic. His story is one of many in this revelatory look at the spiritual lives of children with disabilities: those with mental retardation, autism, or behavior disorders. From these moving, spiritually based narratives, readers will learn a great deal about the immensely rich, often hidden abilities of these children. They will see a surprising depth of understanding in those considered limited in their comprehension of themselves, let alone of the world, church, and God. They will gain new insight into the relatively unknown and untapped power of the faith community in nurturing these children's lives. Most of all, perhaps, they will become more aware of their own journey in Love.

Download or read book Children Are Gifts from God Disabled Or Not written by Renee C. Berryman and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an inspirational, insightful, spiritually sound, informative and compelling testimonial of the journey of a Christian mother of two, one with a mental handicap. You will find a wealth of knowledge and information about raising a child with a mental handicap or any child for that matter as well as an abundance of scripturally based conviction and guidance to face such a disability or child rearing in general. This bears witness as to what we can do with all of the troubles this life brings and where we can turn. The writer hopes this book will facilitate in finding more answers for such unparalleled issues that effect many lives and as such are far too urgent to ignore. God blessed parents and gave them one of His most precious gifts; a child to raise and love in the love we know through Christ which never ends, not even when a disability like this one hits home. You will find that every page reverberates and embraces the scripturally significant indications and the belief that children are gifts from God, disabled or not. God's strength is made perfect in our weakness; so imagine His strength in children, particularly those with a mental handicap or any other type of disability. "This book is a cathartic and heartfelt journey through the thoughts of a woman who has come to grips with the gift of her own child of challenge. It is an often taxing and sometimes painful read as Renee opens wide her heart with no strings attached. This will help many parents through the dark days of dealing with the realization that their child will be different from the other children at play." -Keith Wooden Pastor of Ovid Community Evangelical Church, Anderson, Indiana
