Making a Difference for God

About the Book

In this play, Sydney chose to write about acceptance and love in telling the story of Christ’s birth through music and drama. She and her special needs friends presented this story in a live drama, each having experienced some sort of rejection, as Christ did. Yet each learned acceptance, love, and how to love others even in difficult situations.
