| Description | Because John Kitto became deaf when a young boy, and because there were no books or explanations written from the deaf perspective, he felt it important to try to explain what it meant to be deaf to others. In the process, he was asked to write about being blind. The two books were put together under this title, Lost Senses. This work stands to this day as the single unsurpassed work on being deaf and blind. Not only does it benefit the deaf and blind from hearing of the experience of others, it helps those who are not deaf or blind to understand the life and challenges of those who have these conditions. These books are quite thorough in coverage and very easy to read and understand. These are books every Christian should have and read. |
