Summary
Kimberly Wyse is a blogger, speaker, and Down syndrome advocate, who tells the story of the traumatic birth of her much-anticipated third child, who was diagnosed at birth with trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) and had major medical complications that almost took his life several times.
Through the gift of extreme medical intervention and God’s miraculous answers to prayer, this precious boy has exceeded everyone’s expectations and is a joy to his family today. Kimberly brings her background as a women’s minister, who has a Master of Arts in practical theology, into the story.
She openly shares the ways in which her faith was tested during the most difficult days of crisis and how she hung on to her belief in the power of God through it all. As she struggles to save the life of her newborn baby, learning to feed him through a feeding tube and managing supplemental oxygen and chronic respiratory distress - while trying to take care of the rest of her family - she also struggles to understand how God could allow something like this to happen to her. She has devoted her life to serving God, yet it appears that she must now devote her life to serving the needs of a critically ill and disabled child.
The author delves deep into the belief that God protects those who love him from trouble, sharing with raw honesty and unfiltered confession what she has learned as she’s come to realize that God actually promises to be with those who love him in trouble and to give them his strength to do things that they could never do on their own.
Kimberly shares her story with the candor of a dear friend, the clarity and humor of a gifted storyteller, and the faith of a woman who has learned to put all her trust in the Lord. Whether you have a child with special needs or need encouragement through the hard things in your life, this story will keep you listening on and wanting more.
