Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
He was told that "no one wants a doctor with a disability," but God had other plans At a young age, most kids think about getting good grades, earning sports trophies, and gaining their parents' approval. However, some wish to achieve all of this on top of having a physical or mental disability. No Such Thing as Can't is the inspiring story of Tyler Sexton and how he didn't let his disability hold him back from achieving his goals. Tyler faithfully followed God's plan to become a pediatrician despite having cerebral palsy. He endured multiple surgeries, hours of physical therapy, and countless bullies throughout his schooling.Through it all, he persevered to become a pediatrician just like the ones he had always looked up to. As a doctor, he is now able to give back to those who face the same difficulties he does and spread awareness of cerebral palsy while sharing God's Word. No Such Thing as Can't dives into A difficult journey of parenting a child with a disability The inspiring story of a boy who overcame the odds, and a mother who gave her all to be there for him How to stay faithful to God when you question his plan for you A testament to always stay true to the Lord and trust He will always provide
"There are many books about overcoming obstacles, but this quintessential story of victory over limitations is unique. How many doctors have cerebral palsy? Not many. Yet this disability was part of the Great Physician's plan for Tyler Sexton. Because of it, Tyler has become a role model for others facing adversity, including his patients. He has also become a humble healer who uses his heart and faith along with his intellect and training to help kids and give them hope. Tyler's story has been featured on ABC's 20/20 and was the basis for many episodes of ABC's new show The Good Doctor. This is a story of a man who says, "I'd rather walk with a limp in Christ than with a strut in the world"; who wears superhero T-shirts and tells his little patients they're "super" too, despite their physical problems; and whose stint at a medical school in the Caribbean completely erased the islanders' negative view of disability. Through this inspiring true story, people will be encouraged to face adversity with hope, determination, and the strength of Christ."
