About this title

Review

"This is a fantastic book for moms of special needs children. So many great reminders. Jenn Soehnlin does a great job of contrasting things to embrace and things to release. She weaves scripture throughout to support each chapter. I loved this so much and recommend it to any mommas dealing with a diagnosis for their child."   Melanie Gomez, author of Bundle of Joy: A Devotional for Moms of Special Kids
"Jenn's words in Embracing This Special Life are exactly what parents like us need to hear when adjusting to a life we didn't expect. She shares from her personal journey and from Scripture, helping readers see God's plan for their lives from His perspective. I'm so thankful for her encouragement and highly recommend this book!"    Sandra Peoples, M Div, author of Unexpected Blessings: The Joys and Possibilities of Life in a Special-Needs Family 
"In Embracing This Special Life, Jenn Soehnlin answers questions every mom of a child with a disability asks at some point: What do I do with emotions like grief, anxiety, and fear? How will I find a way for myself and my child on this unexpected road? How do I stop seizing control and trust God's plan? Patiently and transparently Jenn explains the key concept she discovered after her sons were diagnosed with special needs. To flourish in families like ours, moms must learn what to release and what to embrace  in order to trust God with their lives and the lives of their precious children."    Jolene Philo, M.
