“Enabled in Words is tomato soup for when your soul needs something a little different”, says Jim Brady, former White House Press Secretary for President Ronald Reagan. Enabled in Words is a collection of stories detailing the Real Lives, Real Victories of People with Disabilities. Seventy-five authors from around the world have sent their words of inspiration to Enabled in Words. Contributing authors include people from all walks of life: from Ms. Wheelchair America 2005 to a United States Senator; from parents of children with disabilities to a comedian; and from broadcast journalists to individuals with disabilities. This one-of-a-kind effort proves the cross-demographic, bi-partisan nature of disability. Considering approximately 1 in 5 persons in the United States is an individual with a disability, you will be hard-pressed to find someone NOT interested in reading Enabled in Words. Actor, director and producer, Joey Travolta says, “This book is an amazing collection of stories.”

This review is from: Enabled in Words: The Real Lives, Real Victories of People with Disabilities (Paperback)
Before reading this book, I took for granted the struggles and issues that face disabled people everyday. This book is filled with stories written by real people with disablilities. It also has articles written by leaders who fight for disabled rights. But Enabled in Words is more than just an educational experience. The stories inside really inspired me to be thankful for the good things that I have in my life, and to be mindful that there are people in the world who face difficulties the likes of which I may never fully appreciate. I believe that anyone who reads it will find inspiration in this book.

This review is from: Enabled in Words: The Real Lives, Real Victories of People with Disabilities (Paperback)
This book is truly an inspiration. I would reccommend it to anyone who lives with a disability or knows someone who does. Certainly, a lot of time and effort went into collecting these uplifting stories. I especially enjoyed reading former Senator Max Cleland's piece in the forward.
