Reviews
“This biography provides a very intimate glimpse into the world of [an] extraordinary human being. It fosters a personal understanding of the heart and soul of a great man of faith and vision. It will inspire both those who are familiar with Reuven Feuerstein and those who are meeting him for the first time.” - Monsignor James E. Gilg, Superintendent of Schools, Archdiocese of Omaha, Nebraska
“ . . .a significant narrative biography of a man who has changed how parents, educators, and the public view the “at risk” child, leading them to abandon their acceptance of disability for a positive and optimistic commitment that children can change. . . . She makes clear the marriage of ideas, dreams, religion, and psychology in the formulation of Feuerstein’s body of philosophy and work.” – Shannon Almquist, Advanced International Trainer in Feuerstein Educational Materials
