Produktbeschreibung
A thrilling, spiritual audit of a woman raised within a hyper-legalistic Christian culture, Purification in Queens embodies Kristalyn Gill's mission to reclaim the evangelical lexicon and introduce this vocabulary back into present-day vernacular. The collection illuminates and empathizes with society's communal strain to deconstruct Western femininity and religious conviction. Across the pages, Gill contends with doubt, the realities of death, and the value of transparency, leaving readers with more questions than musings. Brazen, sincere, and refreshing, Purification in Queens welcomes the fracturing of faith as an invitation to reconstruct and develop a hope-filled, tenacious pursuit of a God who Sees. At times morbidly curious and strikingly comedic, Gill lays out her daring ambition to challenge the Christian Church's ecclesiastical hierarchy and its collective fall from grace.
