Blindsided by Grace: Entering the World of Disability

An active pastor husband father and triathlete Robert F. Molsberry was left paraplegic following a near fatal hit and run accident in 1997. After a long period of recovery and rehabilitation he has returned to an active life including family ministry and athletics. The book reflects on his experience of disability not as a medical condition in search of a cure nor as a tragedy to be pitied but as a cross-cultural adventure similar to learning to live in a foreign country. Molsberry also offers biblical and theological reflection that confronts the Bibles ancient worldview regarding disability rather than deserved punishment or opportunity for miraculous cure he explores biblical texts that see disability as an occasion for radical hospitality and inclusion.
