Product Description

When a child who has special problems is born, Carrie Gruman-Trinkner insists that this little one is a wonderful gift from God-not in spite of those problems and differences, but because of them. She understands the struggles that parents of children with differences go through, but also says, "Rejoice. God has given you a precious and wondrous gift-one that will touch your heart forever." This book is written to express the needs of parents of older children as well as those who are just beginning their journey as the parent of a child that faces physical and development challenges.

Best Book
If you are a parent struggling with your special children this book is for you. It gave me so many heart warming stories to remember and share. I also know that Carrie, the author, goes and visits families all over the US that are struggling. I have been priveleged enough to have her come and visit me and my son, who has a cleft lip and palate.

Much More Than Meets The Eye
I just finished reading A SPECIAL GIFT by Carrie T. Gruman Trinkner, a book that addresses the parents and relatives of special needs children. This is not the sort of book that I would choose to read, but it came highly recommended, so I took a shot. I'm so glad I took that shot because A SPECIAL GIFT turned out to be a great deal more than a devotional for parents and relatives of children with unique challenges--it speaks to every individual about life and how we choose to get the most out of living. I came away feeling spiritually nourished, having been given important lessons about so many of the psychological aspects we must confront in life. Written in an uplifting and inspirational style, this book has general appeal for anyone seeking happiness. It would make a VERY special gift.
