Accompanying Disability

“It is a rare gift to realize the significance of a term in its first publication in the moment. Endress introduces the term accompaniment theology as a distinct branch of disability theology. This book will literally be the reference point for this topic for decades to come. His balance of respect and irreverence makes the topic accessible and engaging. It is emotional without being maudlin, informative without being arrogant, and holy without being sanctimonious. The interaction between father and son is powerful, reminding all readers that all roles shift over time. The reality of these changing roles creates space for learning to give care and receive care with dignity and grace.”
