As a former educator who frequently substitute teaches in special needs classrooms and a stepmother to a son on the autism spectrum, I recognize the unique challenges and profound joys of this journey. "Moments of Joy" by Camille Joy is a deeply encouraging devotional written by someone who truly understands.

Camille draws from her own experiences raising a son with autism, IDD, and complex medical issues to create 90 days of real hope and practical encouragement. This is not theory - it is born from the trenches of daily life, the overwhelming obstacles, and the small victories that mean everything to those who understand.

Each devotion is thoughtfully structured with inspiring Scripture, reflections that speak directly to the weary heart, and bold affirmations to carry into your day. The devotions are easy to read and understand, taking just minutes but offering deep comfort. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, teacher, or caregiver, these pages provide a safe place to acknowledge the tough moments while reconnecting with God's constant love and presence.

What sets this devotional apart is how authentically it speaks to the unique experience of raising children with special needs - a journey that not everyone understands but that is filled with God's faithfulness. You will feel Jesus' heart for you and your child on every page.

A must-have resource for anyone walking this sacred journey.

Oh my. The way this book spoke straight to my soul. I already know I need a print copy because this is the kind of book you highlight, circle, underline, and come back to again and again. Being a 90 day journey of affirmations, it meets you right where you are, day by day, with words that feel both gentle and grounding.

As a parent to a child on the spectrum, I felt deeply seen in Camille Joy’s words. Her honesty, vulnerability, and fierce love for her son are woven through every page. She names the hard moments, the quiet victories, and the kind of joy that only special needs parents truly understand.

I am especially grateful that this is a Christian book. Camille weaves faith into this journey in such a real and tender way, offering hope and truth without ever minimizing the struggle. It feels like encouragement from someone who understands both the weight and the beauty of trusting God on this path.

This book is a reminder that we are not alone, that our children are wonderfully made, and that joy can exist right alongside the hard. Moments of Joy is truly a gift I would recommend to any special needs parent.

Camille, what a gift this book is. Truly, thank you for being the brave one to hear God’s calling for you to minister to all of us.
