Same Lake, Different Boat: Coming Alongside People Touched by Disability by Stephanie Hubach
About: Same Lake, Different Boat.
When the church attempts to function without all of its parts, the body of Christ becomes disabled.
Same Lake, Different Boat is a transformational work—designed to renew our minds to think biblically about disability in order that our lives, our relationships, and our congregations might wholly reflect Christ.
