5.0 out of 5 stars
Persisting with severe limitations, December 5, 2007
This review is from: The Nathan D. Kaufman Autobiography (Paperback)
This brief autobiography is augmented by biographical material from his family to provide the context for his story. When I learned of the recent medical findings I was shocked that he could accomplish as much as he did. His is not an ordinarly struggle, but he persisted through many difficulties with optimism for the future. The cover design, by his six year old niece, captures the spirit of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Against all odds, November 13, 2007
This review is from: The Nathan D. Kaufman Autobiography (Paperback)
This brief biography and autobiography tells the poignant story of a poor Javanese baby adopted in 1966 into a Mennonite family doing social service from the US midwest. In his own words, and from those close to him, we learn how an unexpected disability and years of surgery lead to a stunning diagnosis whose implication humbles us all. Underneath the narrative are important lessons on cultural exchange, intention, and tenacity.
