'Faith in the Shadows: The Other Side of the Fence' investigates and comments on the relationships between God, disability, spirituality, Faith and inclusion, establishing the joyful reality of Faith in God in the life of a disabled person, even in extreme circumstances. It is written from the perspective of the disabled person and their faith statements that we need to hear and actualise within the spiritual life of their church communities. This book proposes a new perspective (definition) of Faith, opening the door to inclusion and expression for disabled people within their faith-based community. 'Faith in the Shadows' encourages us to go through the 'fence' to the other side and discover the true beauty of people who live with a disability, to understand their 'language' and to share their life and Faith with them. In 'Faith in the Shadows,' we gain comfort and hope from its message of God's personal relationship with and love for people with a disability. It is a must-read book for all who care for and love disabled people.
"On a personal note, as someone with permanent disabilities from an early childhood car accident, it meant a lot to see some of my own inner turmoil and struggles being reframed carefully and considerately within the broader context of spiritual faith in God. It helped crystallise some of my fuzzy thought processes about body, soul and spirit; I am very grateful for that. Faith being more than intellectual or mental assent or just knowledge was hands down one of the best comments in the book. A strong reminder that we are spiritual beings" [Nickolas Brown]
