Patrick Henry Hughes
I enjoyed this little video about Patrick Henry Hughes: “Patrick is a remarkable young man who was born without eyes and without the ability to fully straighten his arms and legs, making him unable to walk.

Six Books for Children on the Bible’s Storyline
Andy Naselli points to some books that look like excellent resources for parents and children.
