Silver linings can be found in every situation.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Angel Behind the Rocking Chair: Stories of Hope in Unexpected Places (Paperback)
Pam Vredevelt writes from a Christian point of view. She is a wife of a man in the ministry, a woman who gives talks, and a mother of three. Their third child was born with down syndrone. Pam went through a period of depression. Slowly, she began to realize that there is beauty in having a "special needs" child. The messages of hope throughout this book make it an appropriate book to give to any friend who is going through a difficult time. (ie cancer, divorce, etc.) I received mine as a gift, and have dog eared pages to refer back to.

It was thought provoking and inspirational,
By Training7@excite.com (Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angel Behind the Rocking Chair: Stories of Hope in Unexpected Places (Hardcover)
As Larry the Cucumber told Bob the Tomato after watching the story of Dave and the Giant Pickle - I laughed, I cried, it moved me Bob. This book wasn't exactly what I expected but I really enjoyed it. For a person who is a child of God and has often strayed from the family, Pam's words brought comfort and hit home. I also happen to have a little boy with Down Syndrome, which I why I originally bought the book, so her stories of Nathan were often like reading about my son. If you have an interest in Down Syndrome or any other special needs or if your heart just needs to be brought closer to God, I would recommend Angel Behind the Rocking Chair.

A Spiritual Up for Down Syndrome,
By A Customer
This review is from: Angel Behind the Rocking Chair: Stories of Hope in Unexpected Places (Hardcover)
I was given this book as a gift from a coworker who has listened to my day to day dealings with my lovely daughter Carolyn. She was born with Down Syndrome and is now 4 years old. I have enjoyed reading it over and over and on days when I am feeling lost, and asking the 'why' questions, I pick it up and read one or more of the short stories to make me feel better. I truly enjoy the short story format, it enables us busy folks to take a short break, drop back and punt. and find the strength to help and enjoy our special children. It is also a great read for those who feel that life has dealt them a rough road. Sometimes the stories make me realize that my life is good, my cross to bear is much lighter than that of my brother or sister and that God is with us and loves us all.
