Raising the Perfectly Imperfect Child: Facing Challenges with Strength, Courage, and Hope

â€œYou may lack limbs, but don't let that define what you can or can't do.â€
Â
Thatâ€™s the life-changing advice Boris Vujicic spoke to his son, Nick, who was born without arms or legs. With the help of his parents, Nick has become an internationally-known inspirational speaker, a best-selling author, the founder of the non-profit organization Life Without Limbs and, most importantly, a loving and responsible husband and father himself.
Â
But Nickâ€™s journey didnâ€™t start there.Â Raising the Perfectly Imperfect ChildÂ is the inspiring, powerfully transparent story of how two unprepared and overwhelmed parentsâ€“Boris and Dushka Vujicicâ€“overcame their grief, fears, and badly shaken faith to raise such an accomplished, faith-filled, and perfectly imperfect son.Â
Â
Through their stories, Boris offers practical advice and encouragement for all parents facing a â€œnew normalâ€ when raising a special needs or unique child. With tenderness, he addresses the spiritual, emotional, and financial challenges, and offers insights on how to equip a child for happiness and success in life.Â

Â
A Specialâ€¦Rewarding Journey
Â
Told from the perspective of a humble father, who at times questioned God and his own worthiness, this book addresses the unique challenges of raising a special needs child.Â
Â
Facing a mountain of doubts and debt, the Vujicics feared their son would never be able to get out of bed, let alone receive an education, support himself, or have a family of his own. And they questioned how a loving Father in heaven could have allowed this to happen.
Â
Yet once they gave up their narrow expectations for the perfect child, their imperfect son taught them that there are no limits to what a determined, faith-filled, and unstoppable individual can accomplish with the help of supportive parents and a caring God.
Â
Boris candidly addresses this familyâ€™s journey as Nick becomes aware ofâ€“and overcomesâ€“the extent of his disabilities, as well as bullying, despair, and suicidal impulses. Other challenges included the stress a child with a disability put on their marriage and not neglecting the needs of their other children.Â
Â
Overflowing with inspiration and practical advice,Â Raising the Perfectly Imperfect ChildÂ helps every parent understand that they can find the strength to give a child what is needed, despite the challenges faced.Â And the results include the rewards of a satisfying and joyful spiritual life.
