Review # 1 was written on 2020-04-01 00:00:00 Peter Moak Pyp Exp This is a well written book for church staff, lay leaders, and families to use in helping the person in their life with disabilities serve the body of Christ. It is a bit of an academic read, but includes checklists for assessments as well as sample forms for use to develop relationships and ministries within the congregation. I heard Erik Carter via live stream when he presented in the January Series at Calvin College. This helped me become acquainted with him as an advocate for disability ministry. Since then, our community has relied on the work reflected in this book for further ministry to people with disabilities.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-03-25 00:00:00 Jhone Kiri This is an excellent book on welcoming people into faith communities. It is not church-specific and so is applicable to a wide variety of religious communities. This book is super practical. It is full of information that faith groups can implement directly into their ministry. A must-have for any faith group seeking to welcome people with disabilities.
