In Trading Shoes: Preaching Disability in the Church That Cares, Jeren Rowell introduces his grandson Wyatt, an 8-year-old with Kleefstra syndrome. Wyatt has significant speech and developmental delays, yet finds joy, connection and belonging in his church community. His story illustrates a central message of the book: true inclusion goes beyond accommodation, recognizing that people with disabilities actively contribute to and enrich the communities they belong to.
