Coming Out through Fire

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Drawing upon the wellsprings of Scripture and spirituality as well as the literature of recovery from war, slavery, the Holocaust, sexual abuse, shame, and apartheid, this hope-filled book offers an understanding of many gay and lesbian journeys as well as tools for personal and congregational growth. Tigert writes with passion, compassion, and humor, introducing us to real people engaged in creating strong, loving lives in the face of personal and social oppression. Poetry and hymns serve as the framework for an open and revealing conversation with the reader, providing opportunity for meditation, insight, and surprising joy.”
