My Autistic Son - Part 2 with Guests Emily Colson and the Late Chuck Colson
You have heard it said that the Lord works in mysterious ways. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his heartwarming conversation with Emily Colson and her dad, the late Chuck Colson, about her extraordinary life with her autistic son, Max. Never underestimate the power of God to answer your prayers in the most unorthodox ways. Luke 18:17 says, “Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
