Special Education as a Spiritual Journey by Michael Resman Price: $5.00 Pendle Hill Pamphlet 390as a Spiritual Journey by Michael Resman Price: $5.00 Pendle Hill Pamphlet 390

How are we to understand God in a world where children suffer from devastating disabilities?� And how are we to live meaningfully in such a world?� Michael Resman, who works in special education as an occupational therapist, has had much occasion to grapple with such questions.� The answers he found for himself come not from church teachings, nor from his own reasonings, but from mystical insight, or as early Friends would say, from spiritual "openings."� Many early Friends wrote accounts of "God's dealings" with them, in the hope that their journals would prove useful to others.� This is such an account.� Michael Resman's story is moving and inspirational in its description of a journey toward faithfulness.
