About this item
Renowned motivational speaker, teacher, and storyteller Brit Barron offers a path to holding on to our deepest convictions without losing relationships with the people we love.. "This book is so needed in a time when we are fresh off cancel culture and ready for a new way to process and interact with those with whom we don't agree - whether virtually or in real life." - Joy Cho, author and founder of Oh Joy!. Brit Barron gets it. Those people who hurt us with their bigotry and ignorance . . . they're often the people we love: They're our friends, our parents, our grandparents, and even our religious leaders. And what we want is for them to grow, not to be canceled by an online mob. So what can it look like to strive for justice without causing new harm or giving up on the people we love? Barron shows that the way forward is to create a gracious and risky space for people to learn and evolve.
About the Author
Brit spent the first part of her life in the evangelical church and eventually became a pastor at a mega church at the ripe age of 26. After peaking too soon, she started to understand more about herself, her dreams and her sexuality. She met a woman named Sami that changed, saved and transformed her whole life. Meeting Sami, leaving the church, coming out and getting married have given Brit a deep seated passion for reminding people that choosing freedom is always worth it no matter the cost. Brit and Sami live in southern California with their dog Charles Barkley and their house full of plants that they treat like children. Brit is equally passionate about having honest and at times difficult conversations and also finding joy every single day and making time to have as much fun as possible.
