the_lirazel reviewed Heavy Burdens by Bridget Eileen Rivera
Review of 'Heavy Burdens' on 'Goodreads'
I haven't been an evangelical Christian for years and years, but I like to keep my eye on the people who are trying to save white evangelicalism in the US from itself. This book will be a great resource for people within white evangelicalism who are already feeling uneasy with the way that culture treats queer people. It makes effective arguments that will give them permission to, at the very least, just leave queer people alone to figure out their own faith.
I doubt it will reach people who are firmly entrenched in the anti-queer perspective that predominates in that community, but it seems like more and more people are at least starting to question it, and I hope they find their way to this book.
(Also, I cannot stop myself from saying that Bridget Eileen Rivera is so beautiful WOW.)
