I know I have emphasized how Greg’s book, Wrestling with an Angel, is a really good book for men – and not just dads of children with disabilities.
Turns out, women are encouraged by it, too!
Dianne pointed to this as a deep encouragement to her:
I do not believe Jake has a guardian angel assigned to protect him from harm. I believe he has a Father who sits on His throne in heaven surrounded by an army of angels who intently watch the face of the Commander. With one nod of the Almighty’s head, a legion of angels can be dispatched with unimaginable speed to preserve and protect. Night and day they wait, watching the Father’s face as his eyes watch over my son. I believe it is God who watches, not any created being. And it is God who supplies whatever help is needed.
Jake’s care is not delegated. (Lucas, p. 73)
Amen, my friend.
John — Thanks for your support of Greg’s book. I think it appeals almost equally to men and women. Men who have faced some prolonged daily challenge can relate to Greg, or at least sympathize with his plight and imagine being in it. Yet women also find it easy to relate to Greg’s situation if they have ever had an infant or young child. And almost anyone can read this book and marvel at the grace of God coming into a situation more difficult than their own.
