Pre-Order Tatum’s Book! A Lenten Devotional focusing on Disability Justice called Blessed is the Body: Disability Justice and the Community of Christ.
This devotional combines Tatum’s personal story, Lenten reflection, Scripture, and Disability culture and history. It includes sections each day of Lent to read scripture, reflect from a Disability perspective on that scripture, consider reflection questions provided, and connect it to embodied practices each day. Then each Sunday, there is a prayer that ties together the themes of the week. It’s a thought provoking, interactive read that blends Disability justice and Lenten theology with creativity and depth. Published through Herald Press, there will be both a print and audio version (in Tatum’s voice) available in December in time for Lent 2026!
