Deconstructing Your Faith without Losing Yourself

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“To deconstruct is to nurture networks of new language through relationships that heal and call us into being. This book creates conditions for other possible worlds that always contain multitudes. May our faith no longer be toxic to ourselves and our community, but may our faith be a practice and orientation that guides us to plant seeds for other worlds to emerge, so that we can make meaning in ways that call forth the divine in everything. If you’re struggling to find yourself in the swirl of deconstructing your faith, I hope this book calls you back to relationship with yourself and with others and inspires you to think beyond the dogma of toxic religion.”

Embracing Queer Family

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Family is a contested term for LGBTQIA+ persons, and family is essential to feel normal again. Finding the right kinds of familial ties or relationships, whether biological or chosen, is essential for queer people and queer families. Bonds of love are what help reduce harm against those of us who are different. This book shows us the way of one family's journey toward normalcy and building queer family. I hope you will read it and learn, as I have learned, how essential feeling normal is for Queer and Transgender folks.”

Holy Runaways

Christian Living

“"Embracing uncertainty and learning how to unravel from harmful dogmatic systems is part of the work of becoming a holy runaway. I can only hope that my life mirrors the work of this book and encourages others to embrace the real work of faith in being rooted in yourself enough to become a holy runaway. Much praise for this book!”

Trans Biblical

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Trans Biblical is not only groundbreaking but also important work that has potential to disrupt identitarian logics that have undergirded much of the queer scholarship in the study of theology and ethics. This book serves scholars and practitioners with insightful essays that will advance queer and trans scholarship in the study of religion, along with theology, biblical studies, and ethics. Embodying a somatic hermeneutical lens is at the core of Trans Biblical . I highly recommend it!”
