God Plays Piano, Too: The Spiritual Lives of Disabled Children

Abstract

Joshua is a young boy with an extraordinary gift for playing the piano. He is also autistic. His story is one of many in this revelatory look at the spiritual lives of children with disabilities: those with mental retardation, autism, or behavior disorders. From these moving, spiritually based narratives, readers will learn a great deal about the immensely rich, often hidden abilities of these children. They will see a surprising depth of understanding in those considered limited in their comprehension of themselves, let alone of the world, church, and God. They will gain new insight into the relatively unknown and untapped power of the faith community in nurturing these children's lives. Most of all, perhaps, they will become more aware of their own journey in Love.
