A Rabbi and a Preacher Go to a Pride Parade: and Other Musings, Sermons, and Such

By Bert Montgomery

Here, finally assembled together in one collection, are Bert Montgomery's LGBTQ-related musings, columns, and sermons.

Bert uses humor, stories, and the Holy Scriptures to challenge the heresy of homophobia within the church and to call for full inclusion and affirmation-in both church and civic life-of our LGBTQ family members, friends, and neighbors. And yes, a rabbi and a preacher really did go to a Pride parade

Bert Montgomery lives in Starkville, Mississippi, cheers for the Mississippi State Bulldogs, writes, teaches, and is even called "pastor" by a few hearty souls. His previous books include Going Back to New Orleans, Psychic Pancakes & Communion Pizza, and Elvis, Willie, Jesus & Me.

"Sometimes we make love sound so complicated, when it's all pretty simple. Hold a hand, walk a parade, or just simply say 'I want to be your friend.' Personable and sincere. Bert shares his heart for making every person in Starkville, Mississippi, his truly cherished neighbor. His writings remind me that the Christian experience isn't about building up a fence of protection, but rather daring to allow love to lead us out of hiding and into the light of a brilliant life." - Jennifer Knapp
