Synopsis

An elegantly structured and profoundly argued case for a very different but much holier, more faithful, and more inclusive church.

• high-profile book of importance to all churches and churchgoers
• gives proper voice to disabled people’s lived experiences of being marginalised in churches
• strongly supported by Disability and Jesus, HeartEdge and Inclusive Church networks

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 centering 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.
