Are you ready to see disability in a new light and create a more inclusive world? The Blind, Crippled, Lame, and Advocate: People With Disabilities in the Bible and Their Caregivers speaks directly to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of disability, caregiving, and inclusion. Authored by Dr. Carolyn Peters, a visionary advocate who is herself blind, this book brings a rare combination of personal experience, theological insight, and social compassion to the topic of disability. Dr. Peters, an African American scholar with a doctorate in theology and a master's degree in social work, weaves biblical narratives, research, and lived experience into a powerful guide for creating a more inclusive society. Through each chapter, Dr. Peters presents stories of resilience-from biblical figures like Jacob and Moses to modern-day individuals such as Sarah, a software engineer with cerebral palsy, and James, a caregiver for his father with Alzheimer's. These accounts show us the personal triumphs and societal obstacles faced by those with disabilities and the caregivers who support them. Dr. Peters reframes disability, not as something to be "fixed" but as an essential and valued aspect of human diversity. In The Blind, Crippled, Lame, and Advocate, discover: * Inspiring stories of resilience: Meet real individuals like Sarah, a software engineer with cerebral palsy, and James, a caregiver for his father with Alzheimer's, who have overcome societal barriers and shown incredible strength. * Timeless lessons from biblical figures: Encounter figures like Jacob and Moses in a new way, understanding their challenges as experiences of disability that shaped their unique roles in history and faith. * Practical strategies for creating inclusion: Get tips on small but powerful actions-from enhancing physical accessibility to changing your own biases-that can help you build a more inclusive community. * Guidance for caregivers: Learn about the joys and struggles of caregiving through personal stories and practical advice designed to support those who serve others selflessly. And much, much more! Dr. Peters shows that disability is not a limitation, but a part of human diversity to be honored and embraced. Ready to make a difference in the world? Start here.
