Loving Our Own Bones

Loving Our Own Bones offers a fresh perspective on biblical stories by highlighting the wisdom and resilience of disabled individuals, challenging traditional narratives that often depict disability as tragedy or spiritual deficiency. Drawing from personal insights and cultural dissent, author Julia Watts Belser reinterprets familiar scriptures and advocates for viewing disability as a source of strength and spiritual richness. The book also explores themes of Sabbath rest and self-love as acts of resistance within a culture that often emphasizes productivity over well-being. With a blend of tradition, activism, and spiritual reflection, it encourages readers to embrace disability as a vital and powerful part of humanexperience.
