In this book, you will learn how to mature in the knowledge of Christ, forgive and accept yourself so you can appropriately use your faith to stand against the wiles of the devil. Loved ones mean well when they try to give you advice concerning your child. Some advice is good, others is not so good.

He knows just what we need when we need it. Wisdom will solve any problem. This book will encourage you to depend on the wisdom God gives you in caring for your child versus the wisdom that comes from human effort. Even with the devastation of hearing your child has autism, all is well. You can know with an assuredness that this did not take God by surprise. You may have questions about why this happened in the first place but you will be certain how your child's story will end. Faith wins every time!
