A Child Will Lead Them Myra Monroe Carr

A Child Will Lead Them, 21 Spiritual Reflections from Raising a Child with Down Syndrome is written from the experience of a mother raising a daughter with Down syndrome and Autism. Author Myra Monroe Carr reflects on everyday experiences with her daughter Marianna which led her to a greater faith. 21 days represents Trisomy 21 or Down syndrome, in which individuals with the genetic variation have three copies of the 21st chromosome. Myra believes God used motherhood, specifically the privilege of raising a child who has a disability, to lead her to preaching and pastoral ministry. Parents, teachers, anyone who interacts with children, knows how refreshing their take on life can be. Jesus praised the little ones for their simple and trusting faith; adding we should be like a receptive child if we want to enter Heaven. Let Marianna lead the way to a greater faith for you too in this special collection published in recognition of Down syndrome Awareness Month, October 2021.
