Moon and Tobin's accessible chronicling of LGBTQ inclusion work within conservative Christian contexts is a compelling, incisive read that commends itself to those in and outside of these spaces-and to any person of conscience working for positive change in our world. With tender fierceness, the authors explore the radical, political dimensions of love, sustainably building an antiracist society, and the meaning of 'repentance' in the original sense of the word (changing one's mind about everything). They credibly build on the contributions of generations of radical thinkers to advance new understandings and synthesize emerging fieldwork and scholarship on religion, trauma, identity, power, and healing. This book is what the authors might call a 'steadfastly humanizing' resource, and I am confident it will prove an invaluable conversation partner to many
