Ministering to Children with Special Needs: The Journey from Ignorance to Dependence on God by Adam Riveiro, Dianne Riveiro

informative medium-paced

5.0

This is an excellent little book. It’s not difficult reading. I started it and got distracted, so that’s why I only just finished it. This should be required reading for anyone in ministry, and all Christians would benefit. This book addresses the need for understanding and reaching children with special needs, but it specifically deals with autism. The author is a pastor whose child was diagnosed with autism, and he describes his family’s personal challenges and Biblical wisdom he learned along the way. 

“I found that the odds of children on the autism spectrum never attending religious services are almost double what they are for children without a chronic health condition.”
