About this book

Cultivate True Belonging and Inclusion Through Scripture

God created each of us for deep relationship with him and with one another. Yet exclusion and isolation are wounds many carry, particularly those living with visible or invisible disabilities who face barriers created by ableist attitudes and systems. When any member of the body of Christ is marginalized or excluded, we all miss out on the fullness of God's kingdom work.

In this 9-session LifeGuide® Bible study, Deborah Meyer Abbs guides your small group through a transformative exploration of God's radical love and acceptance. Through Old and New Testament passages, you'll discover how our heavenly Father responds to those society pushes to the margins, and how you can reflect that same welcoming love to people of all abilities.

LifeGuide Bible studies feature:

  • A guide to getting the most out of the study, including suggestions for how to participate in individual or group study.
  • Leader's notes for preparation and leading a group through the study.
  • "Now or Later" section following each session to help you act on what you learn.
  • Trustworthy biblical wisdom from experienced authors.
