I have been dying for 35 years. So far, thank God, I haven't pulled it off.

So begins the testimony of Thomas Dukes. He writes with humor and grace about his faith journey from a conservative Baptist closeted gay diabetic of the South to a liberal Episcopalian out gay diabetic of the North.

With great flair, he describes how his family of origin, diagnosis, sexuality and life experiences are places of deep reflection and spiritual growth. You'll resonate with his honest revelations of how he faces the faith-challenging realities of daily life.
