And: The Restorative Power of Love in an Either/Or World
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
Author and Speaker Felicia Murrell talks to me about her latest book due out in Feb 2024 (preorder at Amazon, Barnes & Noble Etc).
We talk about love destroying binary thinking, transforming self, embracing who we are in grief, anger and even hate.
This book is for those who want to think more deeply, those who are asking questions of how, what, and perhaps even why, and those who want to engage in deep listening and empathy.
And: The Restorative Power of Love in an Either/Or World is an invitation to move beyond binaries, beyond hierarchy and comparison to embrace the concept of "AND," with inclusion and generativity that allow for more than one perspective and/or way of being.

We talk about manipulation, control and spiritual abuse, are people demonised or traumatised, being a prayer target due to disability.
Finally experiencing love, and evolving theology, Marisa began putting boundaries in place, entering into a freer relationship with God
