About this listen

Nathan was different and Sally knew it. From his early childhood, Nathan was bursting with creativity and uncontainable energy, struggling not only with learning issues but also with anxiety and OCD. He saw the world through his own unique lens - one that often caused him to be labeled as "bad", "troubled", or someone in need of "fixing". Bravely choosing to listen to her motherly intuition rather than the loud voices of the world, Sally dared to believe that Nathan's differences could be part of an intentional design from a loving Creator with a plan for his life. She trusted that the things that made him different were the very things that could make him great.

Join Sally and Nathan as they share their stories from a personal perspective as mother and son. If you are in need of help and hope in your own journey with an outside-the-box child, or if you're an adult trying to make sense of your differences, you'll find deep insight, resonance, and encouragement in this book. Dare to love and nurture the "different" one in your life.

Critic reviews

"Reading the unique perspectives of both mother and child is powerful. Moreover, the love that flows throughout this book makes even the most difficult experiences hope-filled and encouraging. I cannot recommend Different enough!" (Shawna Wingert, author of Everyday Autism)

in the sample I sounded very interesting as I have both dyslexia and mild ocd. as I found Nathins side interesting (I'de liked more) I struggled to listen to his mom as it was alot of Christian stuff & conflicting herself.
but thanks for sharing your story.

My daughter is 8 and awaiting diagnosis for adhd. I found this book open my eyes to her qualities and dreams, rather than focusing on what she finds hard. Thanks you.

How Sally kept on trying to get answers and pressed into Jesus for her hope and strength, is truly remarkable. And how Nathan wanted to shine for Jesus, despite all the obstacles he had to overcome and challenges he had to face (and still faces), was insightful, inspirational and life-giving.

Thank you for writing this beautiful book together, putting your thoughts and experiences down on paper and being vulnerable in sharing it with the world.

An excellent team
