Feeling parched in a spiritual desert? Turned off by rigid dogma and the unholy marriage of faith and reactionary politics? Discover Water in the Desert, your invitation to a progressive Christianity that trusts your common sense, embraces all, and offers a life-giving way beyond fear and judgment. End your spiritual drought.

If you've been burned by religion that prioritized rules over love, Water in the Desert is here to help you find your way forward. This book is your companion on the journey to a deeper, freer faith--one that welcomes your questions, trusts your experiences, and makes room for everyone at the table. You'll learn how to reframe the Bible as rich metaphor and myth, not a rigid rulebook, and explore spiritual practices that awaken awe, connection, and inner peace. Along the way, you'll discover a path of progressive Christianity that embraces LGBTQIA+ people, fights for justice, and builds authentic community. You don't have to stay stuck in fear or shame. A more honest, life-giving faith is possible--and it starts here.
