In A Sinner in Mecca, author and filmmaker Parvez chronicles his pilgrimage as a very openly gay Muslim to Saudi Arabia, where Islam's heart beats . . . and where being true to himself is punishable by death. Risking his life, Parvez embarks on a Jihad of the self—filming his experience along the way. Already under fire for his documentary A Jihad for Love, which looks at the coexistence of Islam and homosexuality, he would undoubtedly face savage punishment if exposed—from being thrown off a cliff to public beheading.

Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, or a Brief Relation of the Exceeding Mercy of God in Christ to his Poor Servant John Bunyan, is a Puritan spiritual autobiography written by John Bunyan. It was composed while Bunyan was serving a 12-year prison sentence in Bedford prison for preaching without a license, and was first published in 1666.

Written by the same spiritual giant who composed The Pilgrim’s Progress, this historical piece of literature presents the true story, in autobiographical form, of John Bunyan’s conversion to faith. Bunyan explains his previous struggles with sin, temptation, and a conflicted conscience. He details feelings of despair and times of crippling doubt, shining light on the depths of sin that is present in this world and can be tempting to all people. This testimony serves to truly magnify how the grace of God alone saved the doomed life of this hurting sinner.

These stories span thirty years of tackling TERFs, legislators, and bathroom police, sure, but there is joy and pleasure and triumph to be found here, too.

Saints are people too. The word saint conjures up images of superstar Christians revered for their spectacular acts and otherworldly piety.

In fact, we learn that in many ways they're not all that different from you and me. Narrating her own winding pilgrimage through faith, Karen Marsh reveals surprising lessons in everyday spirituality from these "saints" - folks who lived and breathed, and failed and followed God.
