"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.
In these stormy times, voices from all fronts call for change. But
what kind of revolution brings true freedom to both society and the
human soul? Cultural observer Os Guinness explores the nature of
revolutionary faith, contrasting between secular revolutions such
as the French Revolution and the faith-led revolution of ancient
Israel. He argues that the story of Exodus is the highest, richest,
and deepest vision for freedom in human history. It serves as the
master story of human freedom and provides the greatest sustained
critique of the abuse of power. His contrast between "Paris" and
"Sinai" offers a framework for discerning between two kinds of
revolution and their different views of human nature, equality, and
liberty. Drawing on the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, Guinness
develops Exodus as the Magna Carta of humanity, with a constructive
vision of a morally responsible society of independent free people
who are covenanted to each other and to justice, peace, stability,
and the common good of the community. This is the model from the
past that charts our path to the future. "There are two
revolutionary faiths bidding to take the world forward," Guinness
writes. "There is no choice facing America and the West that is
more urgent and consequential than the choice between Sinai and
Paris. Will the coming generation return to faith in God and to
humility, or continue to trust in the all sufficiency of
Enlightenment reason, punditry, and technocracy? Will its politics
be led by principles or by power?" While Guinness cannot predict
our ultimate fate, he warns that we must recognize the crisis of
our time and debate the issues openly. As individuals and as a
people, we must choose between the revolutions, between faith in
God and faith in Reason alone, between freedom and despotism, and
between life and death.
