Wrapped In Kindness: Faith, Suffering & The Sacred Work of Special Needs Parenting

Her life was fine. She had her dream job as a pediatric nurse in a well-respected children’s hospital, served in a local prayer ministry, and had two beautiful, healthy daughters and a hard-working husband. She was living her childhood dream. And yet, things were about to take a turn she never could have prepared for. Finding herself over her head trying not to sink in the overwhelming care for her special needs child and thrust into a world where she didn’t know how to speak the language necessary to get the care her daughter desperately needed.

Wrapped in Kindness is a book about the transforming power of God that comes by accessing His kindness through our difficulties and challenges. Parents of special needs children face numerous disparities from caregiver burnout to marital and financial stress to isolation and disconnection from their community. This book will provide practical tools on how to:

• Understand how God wants to meet you at the level of your emotional, physical and spiritual need.
• Recognize how your life has changed by becoming a special needs parent and how to find hope and joy in the process.
• Learn how to process your soul (mind, will, and emotions) WITH God.
• Understand spiritual strongholds that may be playing a role in the struggles you are facing, and how to overcome them.
• Learn how to rewrite your journey - from pain to promise - with the Holy Spirit including practical tools to renew your mind.
• Get out of fight or flight and hypervigilance by understanding how God wired our mind, body and spirit.
• Develop the resilience to be anchored in hope no matter what circumstances you walk through.

Andrea’s message will help you not just overcome the challenges and difficulties, but will also give you the spiritual tools to encounter the God of hope through your everyday life.
