Sustaining Hope, Paperback / softback Book

Sustaining Hope Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

In the Gospels we encounter many people who were shunned by their society because they lived with some form of impairment.

In stark contrast, Jesus embraces these people and offers compassion without condescension, relationship without ulterior motive, and provides them with practical help.

Subsequent history has rarely matched his ministry, particularly for people living with intellectual impairment and their families.

Based on personal interviews with a number of families who have children living with intellectual impairment, two major challenges constantly impacted them--a longing for people to treat their child as a person and to form genuine friendships with them.

Written from a Wesleyan perspective, this book seeks to address these two issues from a theological and pastoral perspective.

It offers practical help for anyone to initiate and develop healthy friendships with people who live with moderate to severe intellectual impairment, their families, and carers.
