Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you and your wife know about your son's condition?' Dr. Davis asked. 'Very little,' I said. 'However, we've been told not to worry too much about it.' Dr. Davis looked at me a second or two before commenting further. This was a definite clue to brace myself for what would follow. 'Your son was born with Spina Bifida.' There was a noticeable concern in his voice. 'What is Spina Bifida?' I asked. This is a real life story about a young man, David, born with Spina Bifida with multiple congenial birth defects. After David's birth, his parents were strongly urged to place him in an institution since his future, according to medical history of these types of births prior to 1970, would be dim. His parents were warned he most likely would be severely retarded and non-functional. They were told by a prominent pediatrician to expect nothing and appreciate anything. Through infancy until the day of his death, David's faith and love for God grew stronger each year. His drive and his belief in God's healing grace brought him much comfort and a desire to help and serve others. This young man touched a whole community, a whole region. David's father, Sheldon Larmore, never thought of writing a book. However, after his son's death many people in the community encouraged him to put the story of David's life in writing. It wasn't until he received several gentle nudges from God to do so that he realized the need to complete this book. David's life has served as an inspiration for his family and friends—it will do the same for you. You will find encouragement, strength, and renewed faith in Be Quiet and Listen.

Download or read book Why Are You So Quiet written by Jaclyn Desforges and published by Annick Press. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Into a world where it often seems nobody is listening comes a poignant story that celebrates the power of silence. “Why are you so quiet?” Her teacher implores it, her classmates shout it, even her mom wonders it. Everyone, it seems, is concerned for Myra Louise. So, in search of an answer to the tiresome question nobody will stop asking, she invents a listening machine. If the raindrops, or the crickets, or the dryers at the laundromat can tell her why they’re so quiet, maybe Myra Louise can finally make everybody understand. But the more she listens, the less interested she becomes in finding any answer at all. Because Myra Louise comes to realize that all she really needs is someone else to listen alongside her. With gorgeous illustrations from Risa Hugo, Jaclyn Desforges’s first picture book champions introversion and the value of being a listener, a thinker, and an observer in our increasingly loud world.
