NOW IN ONE BOOK:   the two original books beginning the Judith Snow story…

From Behind the Piano
The story of Judith Snow & her Joshua committee. Love, determination and hard work conquer challenges. An inspiration for anyone struggling to make a difference.

This 136 page book (in the first edition) has become one of our best sellers (15,000 copies). It is used around the world, and is a textbook in many human service programs. It is used by high schools teachers, college professors and as a great human interest story. The book details the personal story of helping Judith Snow move out of an institution and into the community. In the process, a circle of support was born that not only helped Judith, but changed the lives of all involved. The message is powerful and simple: None of us can deal with a crisis alone. The book explains the formation of the “Joshua Committee” as Judith Snow named her Circle of Support. John O’Brien’s 10 page afterward is a brilliant essay about the message of hope embedded in the book.

Audience:
Human service organizations, families, advocacy networks and anyone interested in understanding the depth of building circles of friendship or circles of support. Used by courses in high schools and universities in social science, social work, human relations and human service. Also, just a good read for anyone interested in courageous people working together for change. A must for families, and an inspiration for people with disabilities attempting to get out of any kind of institutional setting.

Her premise is that we must replace the thinking of disability with the thinking of “giftedness.” If you want to know how to start to build support circles (i.e. circles of friends), this is the book for you.
