- "Three of every 100 babies born today have some kind of defect; many other persons are disable by illness or disease. Too many of these people find our churches difficult to get into and to participate in. .... Our churches can only benefit from including those who have disabilities. Changes in church and Sunday school programs will usually enhance the worship and learning of everyone. These individuals will gain from their participation in the church. They also have much to offer the church. Ohsberg describes various disabilities, using common language, to help church teachers and leaders identify special needs persons may have. He then suggests a number of practical ways in which we can help these persons feel welcome". -- back cover.
