Ce que les critiques en disent
“In this beautifully written book, Elizabeth Jarrett Andrew invites the reader into her life. With great vulnerability, she provides a window into her world as she seeks a path that will lead her home to herself as a bisexual woman and an at-one-ment with God. Elizabeth doesn’t sugarcoat or sweep things under the rug. Instead, she holds her many experiences up so that the Divine Light might reveal the dazzling beauty, unexpected grace, and sacred wisdom held within them. May Elizabeth’s story be an invitation to examine your own story.”—from the foreword by Bishop Karen Oliveto
“This intimate memoir of unfolding sexuality and spirituality invites us to behold and experience beautiful queerness manifesting the image of God. It is also gift for anyone, of any sexual orientation, who dares to imagine a faith conjoined with erotic longing and love.”—Rev. Heidi Neumark, author of Breathing Space: A Spiritual Journey in the South Bronx, Pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church of Manhattan, and Executive Director of Trinity Place Shelter for LGBTQ+ Youth
“The most important decision anyone can make is to live ‘divided no more,’ to cease acting on the outside in ways that contradict truths one holds deeply on the inside. Swinging on the Garden Gate is a memoir of one woman’s journey into the undivided life. Written with honesty, grace and power, this book is a joy to read, and more. Read carefully, it will call us toward congruence in our own lives, toward an incarnation of truth that will set us—and our world—free.”—Parker J. Palmer, author of Let Your Life Speak, Healing the Heart of Democracy, and On the Brink of Everything
