"With humorous prose and wry wit, Kenny makes a convincing case for
all Christians to do more to meet access needs and embrace
disabilities as part of God's kingdom. . . . Inclusivity-minded
Christians will cheer the lessons laid out here."--Publishers
Weekly "A book the church desperately needs."--Elisa Rowe,
Sojourners Much of the church has forgotten that we worship a
disabled God whose wounds survived resurrection, says Amy Kenny. It
is time for the church to start treating disabled people as full
members of the body of Christ who have much more to offer than a
miraculous cure narrative and to learn from their embodied
experiences. Written by a disabled Christian, this book shows that
the church is missing out on the prophetic witness and blessing of
disability. Kenny reflects on her experiences inside the church to
expose unintentional ableism and cast a new vision for Christian
communities to engage disability justice. She shows that until we
cultivate church spaces where people with disabilities can fully
belong, flourish, and lead, we are not valuing the diverse members
of the body of Christ. Offering a unique blend of personal
storytelling, fresh and compelling writing, biblical exegesis, and
practical application, this book invites readers to participate in
disability justice and create a more inclusive community in church
and parachurch spaces. Engaging content such as reflection
questions and top-ten lists are included.
