Blindness, Braille and the Bible: A Christian Home Education Curriculum - Paperback

"Every five seconds someone in the world goes blind." When you meet a blind person, do you know what to do or what to say? As Christians, do we have a special responsibility for serving disabled people? In Blindness, Braille, and the Bible, Joseph and Mary Florence Stephen disclose real truths about being blind-as Joseph is. In their book they present: - Which tools, equipment, and technologies can help blind people accomplish their daily tasks, - The wrong way and the right way to meet, greet, and communicate with blind people, and - The new Unified English Braille language adopted by Australia and the U.S. in a Home Education Curriculum format (for 12 yrs. and older). The unique value of Blindness, Braille, and the Bible is that it also introduces the reader to a more clear understanding of serving the Lord through serving the blind and other disabled individuals. Mary Florence points out from Luke 14:14 that we all must learn compassion and giving without expectation of recompense "for this is the heart and example of our Lord Jesus Christ." One thing lacking in many Christian circles today is practical help for those with disabilities. As Joseph and Mary Florence share their knowledge about blindness and their love for the Lord in this inspirational book, you will begin to have a more clear understanding of a particular Christian responsibility which here-to-for you may have not even considered. Furthermore, you will be in awe of Joseph's accomplishments and inspired by his and Mary Florence's relationship and commitment to serving the Lord, to serving the blind, and to educating their fellow man.
