The Gay Preacher's Wife: How My Gay Husband Deconstructed My Life and Reconstructed My Faith

The deeply personal memoir of Lydia Meredith, a woman who spent almost thirty years married to a preacher--only to have her husband leave her for a man--and how her life becomes a testimony of tolerance and a theology of love and acceptance.After being married to Reverend Dennis A. Meredith for almost thirty years, Lydia Meredith discovers a shocking truth: the love of her life left her for a man. Now, Lydia opens up for the first time about how that revelation shattered her world--and strengthened her faith. With her life turned upside down, Lydia struggled to put the pieces of her broken heart back together and that led her to pursue understanding through an accredited theological education. She wanted a way to put her family back together and she found Jesus' ministry and teachings were "actually" about teaching tolerance and love for people who are labeled different. Candid, honest, and incredibly touching, Lydia Meredith shows that faith and perseverance can get you through any challenge life throws your way.
