In his book Amazing Gifts: Stories of Faith, Disability, and Inclusion, Mark Pinsky presents a collection of narratives from various faith communities, including churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples nationwide. The author ensures representation of a broad spectrum of disabilities, such as chronic pain, intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), traumatic brain injury, lupus, and mental illness.
Pinsky aims to illustrate how individuals with disabilities experience their faith within the context of their conditions and highlights the benefits congregations realize when they value the unique contributions of people with disabilities. According to the author, "This book is intended for congregational leaders and others who may lack expertise or personal experience with disability, yet are responsible for making decisions regarding accessibility and inclusion within their communities."
