About this ebook
A party girl with a broken heart gets pissed off at the teachings of church and society that made her an easy victim of a love gone wrong. The result? This irreverent memoir of her own adventures with sex, religion and politics intertwined with our nation's story of how the right hijacked Jesus, subverting his message of love with one of hate.
And then she gives moderates and progressives of all faiths and of no faith a recipe for taking back God, flag and country.
Revelations Kate Rice style include the tatted up minister who preaches the joy of sex, church-going progressives standing strong in a rural America that is not as red as you think, and a host of Christian progressives who believe in science, equality for all and LGBTQ rights. They fight for voter rights. They fight to repair climate damage. Their God embraces those on the fringes and is a God of love, inclusiveness and tolerance.
This battle-scarred veteran of three different religions pulls back the veil on Christian nationalism, revealing its racist roots. She puts the spotlight on the misogyny and sexism of evangelical churches and how that spawned the evangelical #metoo movement. She shows how the purity movement scars its followers. She explains our nation's wrestling match with religion, politics, and sex by viewing it through the prism of her own struggles. She pokes fun at hypocrites but shows love and respect for true people of faith. And then she gives us all a pep talk about what we can do to keep our nation one that guarantees freedom for all.
