About this title

Synopsis

"Roses are red Violets are blue Why would anybody write that? It simply is not true... Roses can be found in lots of different colours and so can violets. Roses can be red, yellow, pink, orange, white, black, mixed colours and they can even be different depending on what soil type they are growing in. In fact, I read in one gardening book written by…." So speaks the person with Asperger’s Disorder. Asperger’s is an incurable disorder that effects around 1% of world’s population. It is socially isolating, emotionally debilitating and physically draining. It can lead to social anxiety, depression, broken relationships, job loss and other mental, emotional and physical trauma. This book describes Tim’s life journey dealing with the difficulties of living with Asperger’s. It brings to life the thought processes that dictated his behaviours, nearly causing the end of his marriage and his own life. There is hope though for people suffering with Asperger’s Disorder and hope for the people living with them. The story does not end with a plan to help people manage the difficulties but instead relates the healing and deliverance that set Tim free of a lifelong condition. God is no respecter of persons and if He bought Tim into freedom, He can and will do it for others too.

About the Author

Tim Cairns and his wife, Tania, have been married for fourteen years. Together, they pastor two churches in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia, where they live with their their son Caleb. Their two daughters, Shantelle and Candice, are grown and Shantelle and her husband are expecting their first child. Tim was previously a science teacher, where he was responsible for several school evacuations after blowing things up in laboratory experiments gone wrong. Tim tried many avenues to help God bring finances into the kingdom. He soon discovered that his gifting lay in other areas and in fact, God didn't actually need his help. He has been leading ministries in churches for nearly twenty years and finds it is more successful and less stressful when he just does what God tells him to do. Tim enjoys writing and has other publications listed on www.scorebrowniepoints.com.au with more to come. The website is dedicated to exploring grace in relationships with our spouse and with God.
