Let All the Children Come to Me

by MaLesa Breeding, Dana Hood, Jerry Whitworth

It is said that everyone has a story to tell, a voice that deserves to be heard. There are many thousands of children with special needs who have long been ignored, rejected and excluded from our schools, our communities, and, sadly, from our Bible classes. We believe that these children are loved deeply and completely by our Lord and that they too are called to come unto Him. This book speaks to the heart and to the head. Teachers and pastors will find inspiration and information, reminding them that God calls us to include all children, no matter the challenge. In addition, the book includes wonderfully practical elements with many ideas that can be easily integrated into any classroom. By combining philosophy and strategies, this book will equip the typical church volunteer teacher to meet the needs of all the children in her classroom.

For my thesis! This book is FULL of negativity. Like … the authors hate disabled people.

While I don't entirely agree with all the book has to say I do think that it can be helpful and offers practical advice and encouragement to church volunteers that teach children with special needs. It encourages inclusion and offers ideas and practice exercises to help enable you to adapt your classroom to reach everyone, even those with special needs, for Christ.
