Joe Perez finds himself on a quest to understand what it means to be gay at the intersection of conflicts between homosexuality and Christianity, faith and skepticism, mysticism and madness. His journey unfolds amid challenges to his health as a recovering addict, a survivor of a psychotic episode, and a man living with AIDS. Joe is able to integrate seemingly contradictory elements--his Roman Catholic upbringing versus his openly gay lifestyle, his authentic mystical experiences versus the delusions for which he was hospitalized. With a solid understanding of theology and an ability to see through the veils of political correctness, Joe brings a new level of intellect and understanding to the challenges of being a gay man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Integral Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590304181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 6.06w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/26\/2007 pg. 87\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2007 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLambda Book Report\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2007 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Joe Perez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52933510463669,"sku":"9781590304181","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/soulfully-gay-how-harvard-sex-drugs-and-integral-philosophy-drove-me-crazy-and-brought-me-back-to-god-9781590304181","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
