What readers are saying about Finding Glory in the Thorns...

Finding Glory in the Thorns is not just a book for the parents of hurting and challenged children. It is an honest, insightful and valuable tool for everyone attempting to understand what it really means to surrender to God’s will.

The challenges of raising a child with Angelman Syndrome are numerous and daunting. I applaud Larry and Lisa for the honesty in the telling of their story. As the parents of a child with Angelman Syndrome, Yolanda and I are tenaciously hopeful about our daughter’s future and unwavering in our belief that God is guiding our steps. Larry and Lisa have written a book that bolsters that hope and conviction.

Finding Glory in the Thorns is transformational as well as inspirational...I, for one, need the hope, the vision, the taste of glory this rare book provides.

Finding Glory in the Thorns is a lovely and transparent telling of the Jamieson's discovery of the power of God hidden in weakness - the power of God in community, prayer, and family...where we meet God and learn compassion to reach out to other wounded people.

I started reading Finding Glory in the Thorns thinking it was just going to be another story of parents in their struggle with a disabled child. From the very first page I found my preconceived notions were wrong. This is the story of real people sharing their lives genuinely — their tiredness, their frustrations, their questions, their doubts, their search for answers — in such a real way that I could relate it to my own life.

I'm going to have my mom, my husband, my sister, and my mother-in-law read it. I'm going to recommend it to all the members of my son's playgroup. And then I'm going to re-read it myself.
