. . . which I wrote and was posted at Desiring God yesterday. You can even order copies of the book there, too! And I’ve been very blessed by all the comments on Noel Piper’s blog. Some wonderful, some hard, some encouraging – all looking forward to Krista’s book. Please pray God uses it in [...]

Still an opportunity to get a free book!

Unfortunately, not from the Knight family as all of the ones we have are now committed. The response to our earlier blog posting was amazing, and Dianne and I are grateful for every one of them! Our boxes of Just the Way I Am are in Minnesota and we hope to begin mailing by this [...]
“I am not a theologian.”
Posted in Book Commentary on April 27, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I am reading Jeff McNair’s book, The Church and Disability, which is a published collection of his blog postings for disabledChristianity from 2004 through 2008. Though published as a book, the organization of the blog postings gives it a unique, informal style. After 30 pages in, I think I’m starting to get it. But when I [...]
Pray for Christian Alliance for Orphans Summit VI
Posted in News on April 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
This week people will be gathering at Grace Church in Eden Prairie for the Christian Alliance for Orphans Summit VI. I don’t really need another reason to love Just the Way I Am, but another delight embedded in those pages is seeing all the children who joined families through adoption. Sometimes the families knew that [...]

Pastor John stopped by Desiring God on Friday to lead our prayer time before he takes his leave. I had the opportunity to show him Just the Way I Am. This book includes Bible, bold statements about the sovereignty of God, and pictures of the diversity God’s intentional human creation, all of whom are part [...]

As I wrote yesterday, there were parts of Dr. Dorothy Wertz’s chapter, “How Parents of Affected Children View Selective Abortion,” that pointed to horrifying statistics. I have been unable to stop thinking about a few of the worst statistics that I read. As I have blogged about before, the statistics for aborting children with Down [...]
“Individuals can practice eugenics. . .”
Posted in Book Commentary, commentary on April 22, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I found the chapter written by Dr. Dorothy Wertz, “How Parents of Affected Children View Selective Abortion,” from the book, Issues in Reproductive Technology: An Anthology, edited by Helen Holmes. I now wished I hadn’t. I am horrified at what she found in her research. Here is one of Dr. Wertz’s conclusions: Since individuals rather [...]
Is it the reality of burdens or belief systems that kill our babies with disabilities?
Posted in commentary on April 21, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I was looking for the article by Dorothy Wertz I referenced yesterday, and found this quote from Dr. Adrienne Asch in the article, “Prenatal Diagnosis and Selective Abortion: A Challenge to Practice and Policy” from the November 1999 edition of American Journal of Public Health: If professionals and parents believed that children with disabilities could [...]
Let’s Add One More Factor
Posted in commentary, News, Scripture on April 20, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The horrors of abortion were in the news again last week, this time with a doctor performing an abortion on the ‘wrong’ baby. As you can probably guess, the ‘wrong’ baby was diagnosed with Down syndrome. Al Mohler, in his blog posting, Aborting the Wrong Baby, provides some helpful commentary on the subject. Every time [...]

A Parent Asks – How do I help my autistic son on the existence of God?
Posted in commentary, Scripture on April 30, 2010 | 2 Comments »
A new friend asked a difficult question recently, and I thought I would invite others to respond, especially those who have thought more about this topic or have more experience than I have. Here is the question: Our oldest boy is unsure of the existence of God, as an autistic person. How do his daddy [...]
