"A JOURNEY OF COURAGE: FROM DISABILITY TO SPIRITUAL ABILITY" 
Compiled by Linda Bishop, Beverley Davis, Frances Mezei and Shirlee Smith 
Foreword by Member of the Continental Board of Counsellors Dr. David Smith and Auxiliary Board Member Meim Smith 

This book is a celebration of life, where disability becomes ability, where struggle becomes strength, and where the effort to fully participate in the building of all that is noble and good is rewarded with victory after victory. As such, it is destined to serve as a wonderful source of insight and comfort to individuals, families and health care providers alike, assisting all who read it to understand what it means to truly embrace, in unity, the diversity of humankind. The compilers of this publication, all of whom are intimately aware of the ways in which society perceives disability, celebrate, in their own lives, the freedom of the human spirit to express itself in service to humanity. This compilation is an example of their devotion to such freedom. Contains many revealing and empowering passages from the Bahá'í Sacred texts as well as touching excerpts from stories and biographies about the Holy family and others. Comes complete with guidelines for creating an accessible environment for those with physical disabilities.
