Book on Disability

I'm reading The Paradox of Disability right now. It's a collection of essays edited by Hans Reinders, a leading theologian who works in disability. The book focuses on the L'Arche communities, communities for persons with cognitive disabilities started by Jean Vanier. In the introduction Reinders states, "To look at other people's brokenness and limitation without seeing our own is a gesture of power; to acknowledge our own brokenness and limitation in the face of theirs is a gesture of community."
