UNDIVIDED: Coming Out, Becoming Whole

'It is a beautiful story of personal triumph over toxic nonsense of religious homophobia.' - Nicky Campbell. Vicky Beeching began writing songs for the church in her teens and by 30 she was a household name in churches on both sides of the Atlantic. But this poster girl for evangelical Christianity lived with an inner battle - she was gay. She knew if she ever spoke about her identity it would cost her everything. But despite losing so much she gained far more, she was finally able to live from a place of wholeness, vulnerability and authenticity and found peace and became a champion for others, fighting for LGBT equality in the church and beyond. She urges people to celebrate diversity, live authentically and become 'undivided'. As Steve Jobs said in 2005 'Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life... Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice... Have courage.' This book may not be just about sexual identity, but also of broader mental health issues, if you are on the autistic spectrum, always known you are trans but never dared tell anyone, fear chasing your dreams and keeping things private because it feels safer and less embarrassing. Time to share with the brave young woman. 288pp, paperback.
