I bought Joyful in Hope at Christmas and again it is excellent. I really enjoyed every chapter. While reading chapter 2 I thought of a girl I work with whose twin boy was diagnosed with autism last year. I brought the book to work for her to read. She thought it was excellent and she said it was so true of how she felt and still feels. She really couldn’t believe that something like that had been written so honestly. She really was glued to it and was trying to read it in between serving customers. She was so pleased to be able to read about someone else in a similar situation - I think she finds it quite lonely at times.

I let her keep my copy as she said she would like her family to read it to understand what she is going through. I told her about Care for the Family and about the support you have and the great work you do. She is considering a couple of programmes for her son and she thinks one is very similar to the one described in your book. Thank you for all your help.
