Bible Study

I am a parent of a special needs child (10yr old) and would like to start a bible study for parents (moms) of special needs children but I am having a hard time finding one. Does anyone know of a good study out there that targets this?
Thanks

If you're wanting a general Bible study, you can try a Beth Moore study. If you're wanting something that deals specifically with the spiritual and theological concerns you have about parenting a special needs child, I'd suggest talking with one of your pastors. As you deal with those tough questions, your pastor may want to facilitate the group.; ▶ Reply to This

Also Joni Erikson Tada does some writings based on her disability and dealing with folks who are disabled.

Families with special needs are often a neglected group by the church. I think it's merely that it has been a very small population for so lang that many churches are not often affected. With the numbers rising it is a huge minisry area that we all need to be involved in.; ▶ Reply to This
