Review of Refresh by Kimberly M. Drew and Jocelyn Green

More than one-fifth of US households with children have at least one child with special needs. Raising a child with special needs is spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically challenging. As a former caretaker of both children and adults with special needs, I am intimately aware of the trials of working with someone who has this diagnosis and the constant and never-changing nature of their caretaking.
Authors Drew and Green are both parents of special-needs children and therefore also speak from a place of experience and knowledge. A book for parents of children with special needs, while informative, would more than likely have been as exciting as a peer-reviewed paper on watching grass grow. So the authors decided to offer a devotional in the form of "Spiritual Nourishment for Parents of Children with Special Needs." 
Each entry opens with a salient bible verse, includes a personal or near-personal story and concludes with a prayer and "Digging Deeper" questions that are relevant to the day's topic.  For a caretaker going through the ringer there is such a thing as too much, but "Refresh" is just enough.  It is akin to having a Christian friend who is available with a listening ear and a handy (but not browbeating or bible-thumping) bible verse that hits the spot when one needs it.
Provided to this author free of charge in exchange for an objective review, the book is small enough to fit into purse, or briefcase so that--like that Christian friend--it is readily available when needed...and it is much needed. I highly recommend it even for those who are not genetically connected to a special needs child.
