Sinopse
Características

In The Blind Dream-Chaser, Ray McAllister shows how he managed to realize his seemingly impossible dreams. In 2010 he became the first totally blind person to earn a doctorate in Hebrew Bible. In 2016, Ray earned one of the first prizes of the National Federation of the Blind’s Jacob Bolotin Award, which is thought of as the Nobel Prize in blindness. He earned the prize for his work on making biblical languages (Hebrew and Greek) fully accessible for the blind.Furthermore, he tells us how he became the first totally blind, male, certified birth doula, trained to use his knowledge as a massage therapist to assist women in childbirth. Besides the facts of Ray’s unusual adventures, which he tells with a great deal of honesty and openness, he concludes each chapter with a poem. Ray depicts his journey not only by telling stories, he also gives the reader a deep and generous insight into his emotional and Christian-spiritual life during his experiences, making this book a practical guide for how to find richness and enjoyment in life despite seemingly insurmountable hindrances.
