Book Synopsis Our Life Our Way by : William L. Rush
Download or read book Our Life Our Way written by William L. Rush and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Life Our Way, A Memoir of Active Faith, Profound Love, and Courageous Disability Rights explores an extraordinary love story grown out of engagement with both disability rights advocacy and Christian faith communities. This important memoir contains thoughtful, often-entertaining, and sometimes heart-wrenching anecdotes of a couple's journey to create their profoundly intimate relationship and Christian marriage, in a world not yet ready for them. William Rush and Christine Robinson's timely meeting, when the United States was close to granting civil rights to all Americans with disabilities, sets the stages for their intensely human and difficult journey of breaking down many societal and systemic barriers to full participation in the larger society. How will the couple deal with the local KKK grand dragon who is threatening William, an outspoken person with a significant disability? How will they respond to posturing state politicians using persons with disabilities as bargaining chips with potentially dire consequences? How will they react to well-meaning but not always well-informed government officials pushing quick fixes? Against such opposition, can they create their own life, supported by their local disability rights and Christian faith communities? Girded by a local Christian congregation's willingness to engage with this nontraditional couple, their faith is tested and grows stronger through much adversity. Faith-filled acts of mercy and grace and active and meaningful participation provide restoration on their arduous journey. Deepening their relationship with God results in a desire for a Christian marriage. Through a series of vignettes, several deeply human themes are explored: developing enduring relationships, standing up for one's rights and advocating for one's needs, and what it means to growing deeply in love with a faithful God while tribulations abound. Through sheer grit, they model for each of us how to create our own lives, our own way.
Book Synopsis Get Off Your Knees by : John Robinson
Download or read book Get Off Your Knees written by John Robinson and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-23 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up, John Robinson never considered himself an inspiration to others. He was born a congenital amputee and stands three foot eight as an adult. Although he has no extension of his arms or legs, he has not been limited in his career or in his personal life. After graduating from Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, he went on to work for NBC affiliates in upstate New York and today is the director of corporate support for WMHT, the public broadcasting television station in Albany. Robinson’s success did not come easily. From learning how to dress himself after going away to college, to making new friends and feeling accepted, he struggled to come to terms with his disability and make a life on his own. Although his journey may not be considered "normal," he does not see this as an obstacle, but as an opportunity to succeed and to understand the meaning of responsibility. Robinson writes in an honest, personal voice, showing that a disability does not have to get in the way of an education, a career, a family, or one of his favorite hobbies, golf. Get Off Your Knees is a touching story and, as Robinson says, is for "anyone who feels they need inspiration, whether it be an individual with a mental or physical disability, parents of children with disabilities, or someone looking to overcome an obstacle in life."
Book Synopsis No Such Thing as Can’t by : Lisa Sexton
Download or read book No Such Thing as Can’t written by Lisa Sexton and published by Focus on the Family. This book was released on 2020 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many books about overcoming obstacles, but this quintessential story of victory over limitations is unique. How many doctors have cerebral palsy? Not many. Yet this disability was part of the Great Physician's plan for Tyler Sexton. Because of it, Tyler has become a role model for others facing adversity, including his patients. He has also become a humble healer who uses his heart and faith along with his intellect and training to help kids and give them hope. Tyler's story has been featured on ABC's 20/20 and was the basis for many episodes of ABC's new show The Good Doctor. This is a story of a man who says, "I'd rather walk with a limp in Christ than with a strut in the world"; who wears superhero T-shirts and tells his little patients they're "super" too, despite their physical problems; and whose stint at a medical school in the Caribbean completely erased the islanders' negative view of disability. Through this inspiring true story, people will be encouraged to face adversity with hope, determination, and the strength of Christ.

Book Synopsis The Worst Day Of The Week by : Cleveland Huntley
Download or read book The Worst Day Of The Week written by Cleveland Huntley and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most frequently asked questions that people ask me today is, "How can you, as one who is not directly affected by disability, be so passionate about those who are?" My response is simple: "Jesus was neither mentally nor physically disabled. Yet the Gospels declare that he demonstrated compassion upon people who were disabled. Jesus did not ignore them; he acknowledged their presence. And he took time to heal them so that the glory of God could be seen in the miracle."I wrote this book to inform the Christian church that, as followers of Christ, we are called to extend his authentic love to all of humanity so that glory of God can be revealed through us. Every Sunday morning, people who are disabled wonder whether or not it is worth the effort for them to attend church and suffer exclusion and shame. This book provides Christians with a better understanding of how to welcome, include, embrace, and value those who are disabled-those who possess the audacity to be in our midst.
Book Synopsis Impaired, But Empowered by : Walter Ashby
Download or read book Impaired, But Empowered written by Walter Ashby and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in Mineral Wells, Texas, during the 1950s and 60s was anything but idyllic for Walter Ashby. Due to a misdiagnosis and medical error, his sister Janie went from being a lively young girl to a shell of a person who required their parents' attention 24 hours a day, every day. To add insult to injury, his parents received another blow: before Walter was six years old, he lost 98 percent of his vision, leaving him legally blind. Speaking as though he was not present, doctors told Walter's parents not to expect much: he wouldn't graduate from high school, let alone attend college. He would never drive, and probably wouldn't do anything meaningful with his life. While the diagnosis stung, instead of looking at his disability as an impairment, Walter saw it as a challenge. He didn't want to be a burden to his parents--instead Walter chose to disregard his naysayers and prove how wrong they were. By relying on faith--along with his own initiative and a handful of caring adults including his father--not only did he graduate from high school and college, Walter earned two graduate degrees, married the girl of his dreams, became a father, and enjoyed a long and successful career helping others. Walter proved the cynics wrong. Impaired, But Empowered is a story of the human spirit and how that spirit has been passed to future generations--both Ashby's daughters and one grandson inherited the same gene and are also sight-impaired. Most of all, Impaired, But Empowered is the story about why you should never stop believing in yourself or your faith.

Book Synopsis It's Good to be Here by : Christina Chase
Download or read book It's Good to be Here written by Christina Chase and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I can't walk; I can't sit up straight; I can't feed myself. If you and I meet, the first thing you notice will be my body crumpled in a wheelchair. Once I could at least sit up, but now my weak neck is bent over and my spine bent so much that my head falls heavily upon my left shoulder and my hunched back." So writes Christina Chase, the twenty-first century Therese of Lisieux whose "littleness" is humbler even than that of the Little Flower, but whose spiritual power is, by every discernible measure, of comparable intensity. Crippled though she is, Christina's fearful disabilities have led her not into anger, bitterness, or despair, but rather into a profound and exceptional encounter with God's love itself"¬‚¬"an encounter that you, too, can experience through the gentle allure of Christina's witness. Locked now for decades within her own fragile, helpless body, Christina has been graced with extraordinary insights into the similar helplessness of Jesus, the majestic King of the Universe, who, when born of the Virgin Mary, became just like Christina today"¬‚¬"unable to feed Himself or even lift His head. From that littleness "¬‚¬" hers and His "¬‚¬" Christina here draws forth a marvelous wisdom that shows that as creatures, we are all, in one sense or another, paralyzed. None of us can exist apart from limitations and boundaries. None of us can walk through this life unaided. In the presence of God, not a single one of us can even stand. But no matter! For out of infinite love for us and to save us, Jesus chose to join us in our littleness, exposing Himself to the limitations of time and space and circumstance, even unto His death on the Cross. The sweet sufferer Christina has assimilated this saving truth, which shines forth from these consoling pages for all of humanity to feel. Read these pages by wheelchair-bound Christina to discover how much Jesus loves you, no matter how little and crippled you are, spiritually or otherwise.
Book Synopsis Faith and Disability: the Struggles and Triumphs of a Modern Job by : Edward Hassertt
Download or read book Faith and Disability: the Struggles and Triumphs of a Modern Job written by Edward Hassertt and published by . This book was released on 2011-11-28 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith and Disability: The Struggles and Triumphs of a Modern Job, is primarily a conversation with people who have chronic pain and disabilities. Whether they are physical, mental, developmental, or even disabilities others cannot see, this book will speak to you. Faith and Disability explores some aspects of the life of Job, along with many other biblical thoughts, to support, encourage, and help those with disabilities cry a little, laugh a little, and find healing in Jesus Christ. Unlike many books that are written for those with physical and mental disabilities, this book explores some new ground. It begins with a call to lament and mourn. Many people with disabilities in the church have been duped into believing that suffering in silence is required by God and that if they show their pain, or distress, they are showing a lack of faith. This book shows from God's Word that it is ok to cry and mourn what you have lost. Its ok even to shout at God and even to sometimes be angry with God. God can handle it! After working through a lot of the emotions that people with disabilities can feel; Faith and Disability speaks about how to find a path out to become the person God calls you to be. The challenge at the end of the book expresses the concern and love God has for you and the rest of His children who are suffering and sometimes limited by disabilities and chronic pain. The book is not a biography of the biblical Job but is a roadmap through scripture for the Modern Job to follow. Like Job, David, and even Jesus, we can weep and shout to God when things hurt us or don't make sense. But we then know we can turn to Him, not necessarily for physical healing alone, but also for the mental and spiritual healing necessary to live a joyful life with chronic pain and/or disabilities. This is a deeply personal, yet deeply scriptural book. NOTICE: This is a re-release of "Why Not Me?" not a new book by Dr. Hassertt

Abigail's brother, Jacob, now a young man, is attempting to discover his own place as a Christian.

Book Synopsis Accidental Pharisees by : Larry Osborne
Download or read book Accidental Pharisees written by Larry Osborne and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zealous faith can have a dangerous, dark side. While recent calls for radical Christians have challenged many to be more passionate about their faith, the down side can be a budding arrogance and self-righteousness that “accidentally” sneaks into our outlook. In Accidental Pharisees, bestselling author Larry Osborne diagnoses nine of the most common traps that can ensnare Christians on the road to a deeper life of faith. Rejecting attempts to turn the call to follow Christ into a new form of legalism, he shows readers how to avoid the temptations of pride, exclusivity, legalism, and hypocrisy, Larry reminds us that attempts to fan the flames of full-on discipleship and call people to Christlikeness should be rooted in love and humility. Christians stirred by calls to radical discipleship, but unsure how to respond, will be challenged and encouraged to develop a truly Christlike zeal for God.
