Additional information
by Naomi Lawson-Jacobs (Author)
Based on extensive research, Naomi Lawson Jacobs and Emily Richardson have collected prophetic and transformative narratives of experience, shared directly by disabled people who have rarely been enabled to speak in Christian books about disability. By centring disabled Christians' own stories, this book calls for churches to move from a care-based approach to disability, to one that is focused on justice, equality, and access to churches for disabled Christians.
