These special needs children needed a special teacher. The author was very patient, very caring, and very involved as an advocate for her students. She feels privileged and honored for the window of time she had with each of them. You get to peak into that window and see what it is like to work with these kids. You will find your heart tugged into caring what happens to them and growing to love them with her. You might be inspired to get involved yourself with special needs students or teachers or parents in your community.

What do helpful, caring students in a diverse, special needs classroom discover among the red marbles and about themselves? Find out in this children's picture book written for and about those with special needs. The classmates in this story are close friends. They find a marble that is not like all the other marbles. From it they learn that each person, even if they are different from everyone else, has special value which is sometimes hidden until you take the time to get to know them.

Classmates Cindy, David J, Tommy, and Conrad identify well with a boy in an ancient story who was mistreated and ignored because of his disability. The story read to them by their teacher is about King David and Methibosheth (nicknamed Seth in this book). From Seth and from a forgotten box of red marbles, they learn that each person, even if they are different from everyone else, has special value which is revealed more strikingly when the Light shines through them. Your child will be touched with compassion and will realize that mistreating or bullying people with disabilities is very wrong.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. This scripture is the premise for which I wrote “The Warm Heart of Steel.” This play was written for those who are still searching for something to cling to in their lives, they have not yet begun to see that God knows them, sees them, cares for them and excepts them in their current walk.

The setting for most of the play takes place in a little bar know as the Copper Pipe Café. The setting itself is a gentle reminder that God visits places other than church, he's omnipresent and omnipotent, knowing and seeing all. He loves us despite of us, even when we have no faith in Him.
