Description

When a parent hears that their child has a disability, hearts and hopes are often broken. But faith doesn t have to be. In Unbroken Faith, Dianne Dokko Kim comes alongside you as a fellow special needs parent to help you reconcile the premise of a good God with the devastating realities of raising a disabled child. Kim courageously articulates deep-seated, unspoken doubts and fears you may have but are afraid to voice: Will my child still have a full life? Can I do this? Where is God in all this? As you are adjusting to your new normal, Kim s biblical-based encouragement will help you understand that you are not alone, that God gets it, and that God s Word is entirely relevant to the raw and messy yet hallowed spaces of special needs parenting.

"Unbroken Faith is medicine for a hurting heart. In this extraordinary book, Diane reassures you of God's goodness, reminding you that it's okay to grieve... weep... doubt... and to ask the hardest of questions....

"Unbroken Faith is wisdom not just for the parent of the special needs child, but for all of us who have faced brokenness in ourselves or our loved ones. I give Unbroken Faith my highest endorsement. I thank Jesus for the refining and transformational work He is doing in Diane Dokko Kim, and for those who brave to pick up this book in search of deeper still."--Cynthia Zierhut, Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist, Former Research Psychologist, UC Davis MIND Institute and Champions Director at Capital Christian Center, owner of Early Days Autism Center - Cynthia Zierhut
