Unexpected Journey: When Special Needs Change Our Course
What is it like to give up your dreams, your free time, and sometimes your relationships and careers in order to care for another? Unexpected Journey shares the life of a family who has run the course of caring for a son with special needs, who is now an adult, and cared for parents with special needs in their elder years. They're here to say, “You can make it!”


Symphony in the Dark: Hearing God's Voice in Seasons of Grief
Witness how a newborn’s silenced cry began a week of hearing a symphony of life that every family eventually faces: learning to receive life and give it back again to God. Best-selling author and co-founder of FamilyLife Barbara Rainey joins Rebecca Rainey-Mutz to recount the agonizing, joy-filled life and death of “Mighty Molly” Mutz. They witness that even the tiniest, most fragile, short life matters—and its strains linger and lift one from darkness into an Everlasting Song of beauty, hope, and redemption.


Unexpected Journey: When Special Needs Change Our Course
Joe and Cindi Ferrini recall the happiness that the birth of their first child brought them, and the despair they felt later when their precious baby was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and mental retardation and discuss the challenges they’ve faced as they’ve raised their mentally retarded son, Joey, to adulthood.
