Thy Tender Care
What Caregiving and Disability Can Teach Us about the Kingdom of God
A webinar with author John van Sloten
John van Sloten joined us for a conversation about his recently-released book, Thy Tender Care.
In this intimate portrait of parenthood, a driven father discovers the life-transforming presence of God through his relationship with his son Edward, a young man with Down syndrome who is also nonverbal. Much like the parables Jesus told, their shared moments become windows into a deeper reality where weakness becomes strength, difference brings life, and love speaks clearly even when there are no words.
The book is available for purchase through Herald Press.
