"They said to each other, 'Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked to us on
the road, while He opened to us the Scriptures?'” Luke 24:32.
I tried to read some excerpts to my husband, but got so choked with emotion, I could hardly read aloud! I had to stop and compose myself several times. I have read so many books dealing with disability, etc. Most of them do nothing for me. One of them promoted by Focus on the Family years ago was so wrong about God that it made me angry! Although it is geared toward parents of special needs children, the message in Unbroken Faith is HOPE amid tragedy or hardship of any kind.
This book is so uplifting, encouraging, and enriching! The author is so honest, but at the same time weaves humor into describing life with disability. She points me to Jesus and the Bible for REAL answers and help to live this life. There is someone who UNDERSTANDS!
Like page 97, “We long to fit in like everybody else, but “normal” now feels hopelessly out of reach. For us, normal has become the new weird.”
On page 99, “Special-needs parenting is an uncommon experience. Our children drive us to cling to Him daily with an unceasing desperation “normal” parents may never know.”
Page 139, “We are “just a mom” like God is just a Father… What feels like prison, God can repurpose into a pulpit.”
I can recommend almost no author living today more than Diane Dokko Kim. If you have suffered circumstances in your life that shake your faith, you will find help to restore that faith in this book.
