About
What if disability isn't a deficit to be prayed away? What if disability is divine?
In My Disability Is Divine, award-winning author and disabled scholar Amy Kenny offers a dynamic theological meditation on the beauty and brilliance of disabled lives. Drawing from Scripture, history, and disability culture, she explores
· ways that disability reveals divine creativity and presence;
· how Scripture celebrates disabled bodyminds; and
· why access, interdependence, and joy are central to the community of creation.
Packed with forgotten histories, witty clapbacks, and shrewd observations, this book is a call to radically reexamine our assumptions about disability--and ourselves. Both fierce and funny, this is a necessary guide for anyone ready to unlearn ableism, celebrate the sacredness of the disability community, and catch a clearer glimpse of how we can create communities of co-flourishing.
