Defeating Autism

"I was taking on autism in the spiritual realm, fighting with the Sword of the Lord." "Defeating Autism in the Name of Jesus" is so much more than one mother's personal journal of her son's (Nicholas) battle with autism. Through uncovering their personal lives and laying them bare for all to see, Kathy Caruso takes you on her family's journey of how this affliction called "autism" has resulted in harsh realities, tearful breakdowns and major day to day struggles. But through Kathy's prayer-filled and tenacious faithfulness, God uses autism to affect major gains in special needs programs in their local school system, birth thriving ministries for special needs children, and is still leading many to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. God also provided Kathy, husband Dan and Nicholas with "faith markers," as many victories to remind them that His power and promises are real, and bigger than anything that autism tries to destroy. Staying obedient, reverent and in the Word of God in the constant face of adversity, bears much fruit. And you get BEAUTY FOR ASHES... You will find that "Defeating Autism in the Name of Jesus" abounds in biblical truths, while offering ("Jesus-turning-over-the-tables-in-the-temple") BOLD, practical advice about navigating the dreaded "systems" when having to face the challenges of the world of special needs. It will stimulate your critical thinking and challenge the opinions of secular "experts" on autism; ultimately you will come away with realizing that it comes down to a simple choice: you either believe in the power, timing, and the promised Word of God...or you do not. Whether you are battling autism or an addiction or anything else that steals your joy and your hope, choose wisely. Choose His Word and choose LIFE. And for you, Nick..."For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans of hope and a future - not calamity and despair." (Jer. 29:11) Sandra Migliore
