Synopsis

What happens when a dangerous idea shatters a once-thriving church community? As depicted in the Netflix original film COME SUNDAY, Carlton Pearson's "Gospel of Inclusion" cost him everything. But there's more to the story. In BENEATH A HERETIC'S WINGS, members of his congregation chronicle their own personal transformations as their church, Higher Dimensions, goes from its heyday in the 1990s to its decline and ultimate death in 2008. Told with honesty, courage, and warmth, BENEATH A HERETIC'S WINGS is a powerful lesson in faith, loss, family, forgiveness, and inclusive love.

About this title

Review:

"A beautiful memoir with great cultural sensitivity, theological understanding, and profoundly personal feeling. It’s an important story told from a perspective we need to hear. What more could we hope for! This inside view is a gift to all who will read it." –Reverend Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister, All Souls Unitarian Church, Tulsa, Oklahoma

 

"From the terrifying prophecy laid out in the first pages that would ultimately manifest in profound and painful ways before the nation, I knew it was meant for me to read this book. I needed to be reminded of the price and persecution that often comes when one chooses to believe God and walk steadfastly no matter what. I finished this book inspired and convinced that, in my own life, I must press on.” –Myra Golden, Author of Beyond Wow
