Now on Amazon! Gay LDS Crossroads (paperback and Kindle)
By Evan Smith
By popular demand: GayLDSCrossroads is now available for pre-order on Amazon in hard copy (paperback) and Kindle! (The full navigable ebook or PDF is still free on gayldscrossroads.org.) The formal release date is June 3, 2021.
Gay LDS Crossroads is by Evan Smith, a former bishop and stake presidency counselor whose son is gay. With the mind of a lawyer, he examines scriptures and church teachings to look for a more hopeful path forward. All proceeds (not just profits - Evan paid all production costs) go to LGBTQ charities. The book is edited by Marci McPhee (marcimcpheewriter.com).
Since the digital version of the book was released last summer, thousands of people have checked it out online (still averaging several hundred new visitors each month) and I have regularly received inquiries about whether a printed version would ever be made. I am bearing the cost of the self-publishing formatting myself and have priced the book as low as the publishing company allowed (it’s still not cheap though since it’s a long book, with nearly 100 supplemental pages like the lengthy Topical Index and Table of Contents, etc.). I will donate all proceeds I receive to LGBTQ charities.
I’ll still always keep the digital version of my book available for free online, and plan to continue to make updates as new events transpire.
