More DescriptionRizi Xavier Timane has a message for the world, and for the LGBT community in particular: God loves you just the way you are.For centuries, misguided individuals and indeed entire societies have used religious texts to condemn and persecute minorities and anyone perceived as "different," and as a transgendered minister and a person of color, Rizi has experienced such discrimination and hatred firsthand. In An Uncommon Compromise-A Spiritual Guide for LGBT People of Faith, he shares the struggles he's gone through since childhood to find his own identity and his place in the world-and within his parents' strict Christian religion.What he's found-and what he shares in this book-is that one person can change the world by telling people the truth about God's unconditional love for us all. It all begins with loving yourself just as you are. That is God's way, and it can be-it must be-ours as well.
