Women and their Pastors by Wambui Kieya

Description

Women and their Pastors is a tale spanning time and places. From the bare landscape of Nairobi a few decades ago all the way to the rolling hills of Taita, to the altar of a modern day mega church. Two generations of women and the men they found themselves hitched to, and the anonymous lives behind the rise of a mega church.
A piercing exploration of faith, power, and the spaces where devotion meets desire.

• In a series of interconnected stories, the book examines the complicated relationships between women and the men who stand at the altar. Tender and unsettling, Women and their Pastors asks what happens when the sacred and the human become impossible to separate, especially in circumstances where women wrestle with belief, loyalty, identity, and the quiet cost of loving men who allegedly speak for God.
