A Disabled Person's Guide to Discovering God's Purpose in Your Disability
In the United States, where more than 70 million (1 in 4) people live with a disability, [1] and the challenges they face contribute to significantly higher rates of mental health distress, [2] finding hope and healing is crucial. While faith has proven to be a powerful force for positive mental health, [3] the intersection of faith and disability often remains fragmented and incompletely explored. Divinely (Dis)abled: A Disabled Person’s Guide to Embracing God’s Purpose in Your Disability bridges this gap, offering a 30-day guide that empowers disabled individuals to find hope, healing, and wholeness in Christ.
Through Nadia's encouraging personal stories and timeless biblical wisdom, readers embark on a transformative journey to discover God's divine purpose within their unique experiences. This guide equips them to embrace their identity, celebrate God's extraordinary plan for their lives, and educate their faith communities on disability-related issues by providing an overview of various perspectives on disability, calls to action as well as resources.
It also helps those who may have a loved one wrestling with a disability and the faith communities to better love, understand, and support those facing disability-related challenges.
Divinely (Dis)abled is more than a guide — it's a catalyst for personal growth, spiritual connection, and a more inclusive faith community.
