Tommy, I want to thank you for your OP. Despite all the negativity that your post seems to have stirred, I do not feel that you posted in vain. I personally know several people who either have a special needs child or work with special needs children to whom I am going to recommend this book. I hope that your post also reaches out to others like them and that they also purchase the book. Although I do not have a copy of the book myself to peruse, I have read the reviews online about it and do not see that it is a "religious" book. Although the author's faith is mentioned, it does not seem to be the basis for writing the book. IMHO, the school seems to be making a mountain out of a molehill - nothing unusual in this world today - but I say "shame on them" because I think they may be doing a real disservice by banning this book. It seems to be a very unique read and could be very inspirational for those who have special needs children, those who work with them, and those of us in this world who have a heart for these children and the very special families that raise them.
