Within the pages of Elaine
Bender’s new book, I AM EXCEPTIONAL ($10.49,
paperback, 9781545646007; $20.99, hardcover, 9781545646014; $4.99, ebook, 9781545646021),
readers will find a book that shares a beautiful scripture-based message that
highlights the truth that in God’s eyes, whatever our special needs might be,
seen or unseen, we are all His creation and made in His image with special
gifts and abilities.
I AM EXCEPTIONAL uplifts special
needs children by demonstrating, through its beautiful message and
life-affirming illustrations, how they are created with special gifts and
abilities. Though the book is written in a way that makes it easy for a child
to identify himself in it, it’s also a valuable resource for educators,
therapists, and families by encouraging inclusion.
“When we look at
everyone through the eyes of God's Word, we see possibilities and not limits,”
says Bender.
Many people with
special needs are looked upon as limited or unable to contribute within their
realm of influence. But that perspective dismisses the truth. I AM
EXCEPTIONAL establishes a foundation for children to know and understand that
all of us are created in the image of God and needed to fulfill His plan.
Through our weaknesses, whether seen or unseen to those around us, God can
display His strength.
Elaine Bender is a Christian
wife and mother of two sons, one with special needs. Elaine leads a group at
her church for moms of special needs children, and she volunteers with the
church’s special needs ministry.
