There Is No Asterisk

by Leon Prima

Overview

If you don't care about people with disabilities, you should read this book. After all, every person was created on purpose, for a purpose, and that purpose is not optional. You are called to your highest potential, and part of living out that design for your life is to equip others to achieve their potential as well. There is no asterisk on that design, on the calling placed on each life. Each and every person is uniquely gifted and necessary to this world. If you don't believe that, this book is intended to help you, your small group or family, and your church, business, our school better understand the importance and necessity of including people with disabilities.
