$20.00
The experience of being in relationship with adults with disabilities is becoming more and more common, and family and friends need a trustworthy guide.
In a world that often misunderstands or underestimates the capabilities and worth of individuals with disabilities, Accompanying Disability offers a compassionate, faithful model for nurturing relationships with loved ones with disabilities based on mutual respect, dignity, and affection, rather than patronizing attitudes or pity.
Author Topher Endress brings a wealth of insight and experience as a pastor and theologian whose father became a quadriplegic after a hiking accident. Through his personal narrative, his father’s writings, and Bible-based reflections, Endress shows how the way we think about disability can have a profound impact on our ability not just to provide care or engage respectfully but to truly accompany loved ones with disabilities along our mutual journey of life.
Drawing on principles of disability rights and advocacy as well as Scripture and personal experience, this book models a paradigm shift in how society perceives and interacts with individuals with disabilities. It celebrates diversity, resilience, and the richness of human experience, inviting readers to reflect on God’s work in our world and embrace the beauty of relationships founded on equality, understanding, and love. Whether you’re a family member, friend, caregiver, or ally, Accompanying Disability offers invaluable insights and guidance for nurturing meaningful, respectful, and fulfilling relationships with loved ones with disabilities.

Surprised By Hope
$15.99For years Christians have been asking, “If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?” It turns out Christians have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven.
One of today’s premier Bible scholars and award-winning author N.T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright shows that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. First, he provides a magisterial defense of a literal resurrection of Jesus himself. This became the cornerstone for the Christian community’s hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Next Wright explores our expectation of “new heavens and new earth,” showing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the “second coming” of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation – and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection – the church cannot stop at “saving souls” but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but, before it.
