In his book, Master of Disguises, James Benjamin seeks to show Christian readers the many tricks that the enemy (the devil) plays to try and make us lose focus of the purpose God has given us. Many Christians, unfortunately, fall prey to the devil's devices and are not able to live a free life in Christ Jesus as they should. In this book, Benjamin describes the tricks of the devil and helps readers to understand that Satan is real in the world today and that in order to defeat him, we must be able to recognize when he tries to come upon us.
Broken Dolls is unique because in it I encompass the entire process one goes through from the moment they discover the illness of their young child through adulthood. I talk about the practical things you can do to make the task easier, the medical avenues you will take and the emotional highs and lows that are a part of suffering. At the end of most chapters, I include tips to help you. I also candidly discuss choosing your doctor, how the entire family is affected, returning to what I call the "new normal", school issues, letting go and other essentials. You will also find a heart warming section where the feelings of individual family members are expressed. The siblings surprised me with what they had to say looking back now almost two decades later. This book is not written to the medical world, nor did I write it on their behalf. This book is written from the view point of a parent caring for a child with a chronic illness from day to day.
