MICHELE MATTIA welcomes Jay Bakker, gay rights activist, author, speaker and pastor

NEW YORK - July 17, 2013 - PRLog -- NEW YORK, NY – As a grace enthusiast, dyslexic introverted pessimist, and a prisoner of hope, Jay shares his ideas, message and journey, including being the son of Jim Bakker and Tammy Faye Bakker Messner in his first book,  Son of a Preacher Man (http://jaybakker.com/books), Fall to Grace: A Revolution of God, Self and Society (http://jaybakker.com/books).

“Grace saved my life; it can revolutionize yours.”

― Jay Bakker (http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/68283.Jay_Bakker), Fall to Grace: A Revolution of God, Self & Society (http://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/14254617)

Jay Bakker, a gay rights activist, and winner of the 2012 PFLAG Straight for Equality In

Faith Communities award currently lives in Minneapolis, MN with his wife, Karin where he is the Pastor of Revolution Church.  He also serves as co-pastor of Revolution Church NYC, a church that meets in a bar and has a strong online following.  Jay speaks to congregations and other groups all over the country about faith, grace, and his experiences with the underside of life and Christianity.  “We believe that this time of transition will make for a more dynamic Revolution Church, and will help us focus and expand our scope and mission.”  - Jay Bakker on the recent move of Revolution Church to Minneapolis.

In Jay’s new book, Faith, Doubt, and Other Lines I’ve Crossed: Walking with the Unknown God (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/044653952X/ref=as_li_ss_...), he largely leaves his family story behind and ventures into new theological territory. Written in short, almost devotional-length sub-chapters, Jay reflects on the marriage of doubt and faith. He feels you can’t have one without the other.   "One thing I know: We can't conquer hopelessness with certainty. We can't fix tragedy with dogma. We can only embrace the doubt that comes when we hope, when we have faith, when we love."  -from Faith, Doubt and Other Lines I’ve Crossed (http://jaybakker.com/books)!
