A Biblical Reflection to Help the Church Cope with Disability

Why another book on infirmity and disability? Because it offers an innovative genre and follows a different approach. This is not a "testimony," even with its many touching anecdotes. Nor is it a manual, a kind of cookbook. What is it then? It is a deep, biblical and very approachable reflection on what God says and does when he sends infirmity into the life of an individual, a family, a church. The book is therefore based on the character of God himself, as well as on his Word to understand. These very human pages touch the foundations of everyday life.
