Seduced by Grace: Contemporary spirituality, Gay experience and Christian faith

by Michael Bernard Kelly

Being gay and Christian. In these collected writings - essays, articles, letters - Michael B Kelly invites us into an intimate exploration of the inner wisdom and radical challenge of Christianity. In reflections that take us from the fields of Nicaragua to the 'War on Terror', from the joy of erotic pleasure to the challenge of rebuilding the church, Kelly gives voice to a spirituality of desire, grounded in justice and love. Michael Kelly is a freelance writer, activist, counsellor and educator, known internationally for his ministry in spirituality, sexuality and human integration.

[Malcolm McPherson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I very much enjoyed this book which is a compilation of articles published elsewhere, mostly in Melbourne's The Age newspaper.

[A G · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lifechanging balm on the wound of this bruised gay christian soul.

If you are an LGBTQI person with just a glimmer of faith; I would find a copy right away.

It isnt the most theologically rich book, but his voice is so refreshing for the queer soul that it is absolutely worth delving into.

Michael Bernard Kelly also has a free lecture series on Youtube called the erotic contemplative.
