Book Reviews of Gay Soul: Finding the Heart of Gay Spirit and Nature with Sixteen Writers, Healers, Teache
Book Review: A long needed look at Gay Spirituality
Summary: 5 Stars
At long last someone has done a study of gay spirituality! Soul and Spirituality among gay men are increasingly becoming much stronger and deeper as we approach the millenium and the Age of Aquarius. When overcoming difficulties of the modern age such as homophobia and the stigmatisation of the AIDS epidemic, gay men such as myself have started to look inside themselves for the fulfilment that lacks in society, and this book is one of very few available that studies the many different aspects of this new spritiuality. The interview format takes a bit of getting used to at first, but from the start the writing has a conversational style which makes it much easier to read, and more difficult to put down! I would highly recommend this for any gay man seeking to discover his true spirituality in whatever form- it truly is a brilliant book!
Summary of Gay Soul: Finding the Heart of Gay Spirit and Nature with Sixteen Writers, Healers, Teache
Gay spirituality and sensibility come to light in these pages of striking portraits and trenchant interviews. Thompson brings out the unique contributions of the esteemed gay men ? including Will Roscoe, Joseph Kramer, Harry Hay, James Broughton, Andrew Harvey, Paul Monette, Malcolm Boyd, and Ram Dass ? who lead the spiritual life.Thompson elicits vivid musings on such provocative issues as the third gender, S&M, ritual as ?holy fire?, and spirituality in the age of Aids. His interviews call out the deepest emotions of each of these vibrant leaders who reveal, as never before, the spirit and the soul of the gay life.General Books
