"Gay with God," by Midge Noble to Launch October 2023 from Publish Your Purpose
Hartford, CT, October 13, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Podcaster, speaker, online resiliency coach, and author Midge Noble will launch her new memoir, "Gay with God: Reclaiming My Faith, Honoring My Story" (Publish Your Purpose, 2023, ISBN 979-8-88797-034-9, 979-8-88797-035-6, 979-8-88797-036-3) on October 11, 2023.
Born in the rural south in the late 1950's, Midge Noble was raised in a household with strict parents and fundamentalist religious beliefs. Attending parties or movies was not allowed. Her paternal grandfather, Paw Paw, a fire and brimstone Advent Christian preacher, believed the Bible was the literal word of God and condemned gays and lesbians.
As a teen, Noble felt a calling for missionary work but grew up with a conflicted view of God and the Church. She always felt that somehow she was different, but couldn't quite put her finger on why. In this frank and heartfelt memoir, Noble recounts her childhood years and her struggles as a young adult with her faith and true identity. Doubting herself and her choices, her inner turmoil manifested itself as bulimia and anorexia, and denial and harsh judgment of her feelings. She didn't come out to herself as gay until she was thirty years old.
Noble's poignant journey to reclaim her Christian faith shows that a relationship with the God of your understanding is possible, no matter what you've been taught to the contrary. Honesty and learning to trust your inner guidance are critical for healthy emotional and social development. For anyone questioning how they can reconcile their faith and their personal identity, Noble's inspiring book is a light to shine the way.
“I’ve often said that folks from the LGBTQIA+ community who are able to somehow hold onto their Christian faith are rockstars, bada**es, and all around spiritual heavyweights,” writes Reverend Dr. Mark Sandlin, President and Co-Executive Director of Progressive Christianity.org and Co-Founder of The Christian Left. “It takes a crazy amount of fortitude, desire, and dedication to decide to pursue a faith whose majority of followers spend an unreasonable amount of time pointing judgmental fingers at you and calling you some pretty horrific things. Midge is one of the folks who brought me to the conclusion of the bada**ery of queer Christians.”
