This is a book of poems written by a boy unable to speak...he points to the letters and forms words...it's an inspirational book.

I got this book through a giveaway for an honest review.
Really quick read. Interesting poems. Looking more into Marshall’s story and life experiences makes this book even more amazing.
Goes to show that people don’t need to be limited by their disabilities.
Inspiring.

This is the 20th anniversary revised edition of kiss of God by Marshall Stewart Ball. He was born handicapped and was nonverbal. This book is a sharing of his thoughts that are like reading poetry. He learned to communicate using an alphabet board and share his thoughts.

Amazing that this young mind was so blessed to clearly see what God shows us all. He had the mind of a brilliant child and the heart of God.

[Daniel Jansky]

Excellent book of poetry and prose by an autistic savant child.

[Sally Andrews]

The story behind this boy is incredible. His disabilities have obviously cause other abilities to soar! So he writes at a very young age when he cannot even speak. He uses some pretty big words for such a small fry. And his heart is focused on God and his family. Inspiring, even though it got a little trite and repetitive.

Amazing what thoughts go through this child’s brain. It would be nice to know how he’s doing today.

My mother's best friend gave me this book a year ago.

Fascinating,but it got a little boring, some of his work repetitive.... but still amazing at times!
