Formed Together: Mystery, Narrative, and Virtue in Christian Caregiving
An invitation to encounter caregiving not as a set of skills to master, but as a formative practice of love, humility, and courageous belonging — shaped by the mystery of God's love already given. Rooted in lived experiences with people with intellectual disabilities, Formed Together offers a reflective yet accessible vision of Christian caregiving as mutual transformation, not mere service.
