The pages of this book succeed, putting the reader almost immediately into contact with what is unique in each disabled person, particularly those whose intelligence is afflicted. The book is full of hope, because it conveys the grace of God page by page. It is also permeated with realism, because the experience of the author is that of a special teacher, and a woman who is in daily contact with people afflicted in both body and spirit.” Stéphane Desmazières, ex-bishop of Beauvais.Dieu m’aime comme je suis (God loves me as I am) 13€  Publication available in French, Spanish, Portugese, Italian, Romanian and Slovak. People thought that François, who has an intellectual disability, hadn’t understood a thing about his first communion. Then he came out with the following reply : “God loves me as I am”. It’s by using these simple words that Marie-Hélène Mathieu introduces us into the heart of the lives of people with disabilities and their families, with whom she is in daily contact. She tells us how necessary it is to give disabled people their proper place, and to base ourselves on their example as far as the essentials of life are concerned : to be loved and to love others. “God loves me as I am”, which assembles the editorials of the “Ombres et Lumière” magazine, is a follow-up to her first publication mentioned above ''Mieux vaut allumer une lampe que maudire l’obscurité''. ''These simple, moving pages, reflecting long experience, address a vital message for each human being (…) Thank you for helping us to give thanks with Jesus for the mysteries “hidden from the wise and the prudent that He has revealed to the little children” (Mt 11,25)'' Cardinal Lustiger.
