Reviews My Body is Not a Prayer Request: Disability Justice in the Church

Book Review

Abstract

$19.99

Every story has key turning points, moments where everything changes. Maybe it’s a sudden shift, taking place faster than a blink. Maybe it’s the culmination of years of gradual change, in a final dramatic reveal. I remember my eighth-grade homeroom teacher calling these moments “signposts” through a story arc and putting up posters of the central scenes in several books from the school year.

Looking back, I can see that reading My Body is Not a Prayer Request by Amy Kenny was one of these signpost moments in my own life. Rather than a flash of sudden change, finding Kenny’s wise words started a gradual expansion of my understanding of what it means to be a disabled person.
