Overview
A much-needed faith-based resource for the LGBTQ+ community, Colors of Hope uses the iconic Pride Flag as the core of a nine-week-long reflection and devotional journal. The flag’s eight colors is each tied to a specific symbolic theme, inspiring the book’s contributors to craft a short essay and a set of several common themes that carry over to each week and invite readers to reflect on the week’s theme in different ways. Colors of Hope includes a page each day for readers to journal, doodle, or otherwise reflect on the theme. The book also includes an introduction, benediction, and a list of resources and/or bibliography for the LGBTQIA+ community.
