MarriageAbility: Embracing the Richness of a Marriage Affected by Disability

Joan Borton

Dreams of marriage rarely include wheelchairs, walkers, or medical equipment. Yet the oneness found in a marriage with disability presents a beautiful picture of the relationship between Jesus and His Church.

This book engages the reality disability puts on the marriage relationship through the real-life, and often humorous, stories of couples living with disability. Readers will find they’re not alone in their journey. They’ll discover a framework to manage the challenges of disability and marriage.

The book will inspire those who do not live with disability to embrace those around them who do.

My Body is Not a Prayer Request

Amy Kenny

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.
