These books didn’t just change our perspective — they changed me. I see the world and myself differently because of them. I’ll carry their lessons for life.

Roy Recommends the Following Books:

Dr. Patrick Cheng’s Radical Love reveals God’s boundary-breaking, all-inclusive love in Christ that embraces LGBTQ+ people and calls Christians to embody that same radical love toward all. In From Sin to Amazing Grace, he reimagines sin and grace through a queer theological lens, moving from shame and exclusion to the liberating joy of God’s unconditional grace.

The Universal Christ by Richard Rohr teaches that Christ is not just Jesus of Nazareth, but the eternal presence of God woven into all creation since the beginning of time. Rohr’s message is that recognizing Christ in everything—people, nature, and the universe—invites us into a deeper experience of love, unity, and spiritual transformation.

Medicine of the Cherokee by J.T. Garrett and Michael Garrett and Walking on the Wind by Michael Garrett share wisdom from Cherokee tradition, showing how balance, respect, and spiritual awareness guide our relationships with each other and the natural world. Both books remind us that all life is interconnected, and harmony comes from living with gratitude, mindfulness, and a deep sense of connection to all creation.
