Help! Our Child Has Down Syndrome by Dave and Nancy Deuel

About the book

Finding out your child has Down syndrome may feel overwhelming. Perhaps you think, "I didn't sign up for this." Dave and Nancy Deuel gently suggest an alternative: "God signed me up for this, so I'm going to commit it to his wise and loving care and give it all I've got." Here they share the challenges but above all the joys unique to parenting a child who, by God’s design, has a diagnosis of Down syndrome.
