Grace in the Wilderness: Sermons from the Periphery is a compilation of sermons preached over a span of twenty years by a minister after he was removed from the pulpit for the 'sin' of being born gay. After leaving the professional ministry, the author was frequently invited to substitute preach in a variety of churches. The sermons in this book illustrate growth in the understanding of Bible, theology, and human nature as the author proclaimed God's word from the periphery of the institutional church.
