“Professor, mentor, author, disability advocate, seminar leader around the world—Dr. David Anderson corralled his many talents and worldwide experiences to author this important book. The volume should prove invaluable to Christians concerned about disabilities, especially teachers. Without flinching, Dr. Anderson tackles the tough issues: How could a good and benevolent God permit disabled children? Are disabilities the result of sin? How does a Christian teacher of the disabled differ from secular counterparts? Especially helpful is his emphasis on the reflective teacher integrating faith and learning. Certainly this is a volume that belongs on the bookshelves of anyone concerned with disabilities.” —Steven A. Kaatz PhD, Graduate Programs in Special Education, Bethel University, St. Paul, Minnesota “I have had the privilege of traveling with Dr. Anderson as he has taught the concepts addressed in this book to educators, pastors, and parents in a variety of countries. I’ve seen the material come alive as leaders discover the importance of thinking Christianly about disability. This book has the potential of impacting all readers in similar ways. Dr. Anderson challenges all of us to come to grips with a biblical worldview and then to live it out within our spheres of influence. Toward a Theology of Special Education thus encourages all readers to think Christianly about disability. Such thinking will then motivate us to care with God’s care and to serve with God’s concern for justice and compassion.” —Dr. Richard Schoenert, pastor emeritus, Calvary Church, Roseville, Minnesota

Hey you!

When you really know someone, you call them by their name. Everyone is unique and has a name that is special to only them. You may be named after a mother, father, or other special relative. Another name might be selected because there is a special meaning. For example, the name Brooke means “peaceful.” The name Dakota means “brave.” Did you know that God has special names too? God can be called Elohim or Adonai. You will know your friends and God better by spending time with them. Come and discover how a name is important to you and to God.

Melanie and Seth Fowler are parents of a six-year-old boy who has autism.  Melanie is not only a concerned parent, but is schooled in speech therapy, deaf education, and special education.  When the Fowlers found out their son was on the autism spectrum, they were like so many other young parents out there—scared, angry, confused, helpless. They felt like they were on an island.

 

While many books were given to them regarding autism, none was able to console the Fowlers in their time of grief and desperation.  Immediately they realized they needed to write a book that deals with immediate steps when dealing with a child on the autism spectrum.  Look at My Eyes is an insight not only into their lives but tells how to battle for insurance coverage, explains helpful, scientifically based therapies, and deals with quackery and harmful treatments.  The Fowlers discuss talking with relatives about a child who is autistic, they provide helpful websites and in-home training exercises, and encourage readers to be strong in their faith and rest upon the Lord for strength, grace and mercy.

 

Look at My Eyes has now been translated into Spanish.  Both English and Spanish versions can be found at www.lookatmyeyes.com.

 

The Fowlers live in Fort Worth, Texas, with their two children, William and Margaret and their new golden doodle, Charley Bear.  For more information: info@thefowler4group.com
