My Disability Is Divine: A Joyful Witness That Defies Ableist Nonsense PB

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-practitioner Amy Kenny offers a dynamic spiritual meditation on the beauty and brilliance of disabled lives. Drawing from history, nature, 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, My Disability Is Divine 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. Author Amy Kenny, PhD, is a disabled scholar-practitioner and the founding director of the Disability Cultural Center at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., one of only a handful of such centers in the country. She is the award-winning author of My Body Is Not a Prayer Request, and her work on disability has appeared in Teen Vogue, Sojourners, HuffPost, Reader's Digest, and Shondaland. She also cofounded Jubilee Homes, a housing initiative for people experiencing homelessness.
