About The Gospel of Rose
What is The Gospel of Rose about?
The Gospel of Rose is a forthcoming somatic spiritual memoir about healing after religious harm, where deconstruction gives way to embodied remembering. Told through the voice of Mother Rose, it centers the body as a source of truth after spiritual control, following the return to trust, desire, and belonging.
Who is this book for?
This book is for readers healing after religious harm who are seeking a return to embodied trust rather than another set of answers. It may resonate with those who have already left rigid belief systems and are drawn toward reflection, presence, and lived experience.
Where can I buy The Gospel of Rose?
The book is currently being prepared for traditional publication and is not yet available for purchase. Updates will be shared as the process unfolds.
Is this book appropriate for someone still connected to their faith community?
Each reader’s relationship to faith is personal. While the book centers healing from religious harm, it does not prescribe belief or disbelief. Readers can engage at their own pace and discern what is meaningful for them.
