Amy's Picks
these resources were fundamental for me coming to terms with my transgender nature, and
more generally how God actually works not just for people like me, but
for everyone.
You can buy this book if you want, but it's a free read on archive.org (link above).
For me, this book was approachable, specifically because it wasn't weighted down by the history of the Christian faith, and all of the cultural and political baggage that comes along with it. Instead this book is a breathtaking stroll through the wonder of what it means to be a human, through the lens of Vedanta Hinduism (but not exclusively).
The Universal Christ
by Richard Rohr
According to the forward, the name of this book was almost "God Loves Things by Becoming Them".
For me, this was like the second half of Alan Watts' The Book ... in that it dove into far greater detail, and in my native tongue of Christianity! This book really really helped me and I cannot reccomend it enough. They made a video trailer for the book, you should watch it. Then go get the book and read it.
What you've been told, is not the only way to understand the Christian story.
This book digs deeply into the various theories of "Heaven" and "Hell" found in the Christian faith, and frankly discusses the practical implications of them
and re-examines the scriptural foundations for these fully-human-made ideas.
It's very good.
Also, and it's not related to the book, but I suspect you'll love this video just as much as I do. Settle in, it's a ride :-)
