“Husband, I’ve decided to write a book.”

I just finished reading a book about disability justice in the church and was left feeling sad for the author. She has been poorly treated as the result of her visible disability. I have a different story, and I decided it was time to tell it. The other motivation was that I regularly get asked about my health. People seem to have a curiosity about what I deal with, and I often gather that others are concerned for me. I wanted to set the record straight on how poorly I’m not doing. I also wanted to get my health history on record. Kevin has often encouraged me to write a book, and apparently this was the nudge I needed.
