Being a Sanctuary : The Radical Way for the Body of Christ to Be Sacred, Soft, and Safe

Abuse, trauma, racism, and being othered--Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez unfortunately has experienced it all within the church. And yet, she maintains a deep love for the body of Christ and a strong desire to see God's vision for the church flourish. In Being a Sanctuary, she offers a hopeful path forward. Perreaux-Dominguez focuses on three aspects of God's vision for the church: that it would be sacred (biblically based), soft (trauma-informed), and safe (justice-centered). Each section of the book explores what these mean for the church using biblical teaching, practical instruction, and stories from her own experiences. She unpacks practical steps the body of Christ can take to realize this vision and cultivate a lifestyle of being a sanctuary, including repentance, sanctification, showing Christ's compassion, healing injustices, and being advocates. Be ready to take the first step to guide the church back to its foundational call to be a sacred, soft, and safe place for all people--and discover how to live in the radical way of Jesus.
