Disability and the Gospel is a 192-page paperback by Michael S. Beates that examines key Bible passages on brokenness and disability and equips believers and churches to respond with compassion and gospel-centered hope. Drawing on more than 30 years in Christian ministry and his personal experience as the parent of a child with profound disabilities, Beates shows how to embrace our own brokenness and then embrace those who are more visibly broken.
With a foreword by Joni Eareckson Tada, the book combines careful biblical exposition, historical and contemporary perspectives, and practical recommendations for pastors, church leaders, caregivers, and laypeople seeking to minister faithfully to people with disabilities.
