“A treasure...a wise and entertaining book that should appeal to the spiritual pilgrim in all of us, no matter what the faith and no matter whether believer or nonbeliever.”  
– Chicago Tribune 
The New York Times bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and Jesus: A Pilgrimage turns his attention to the relationship between LGBT Catholics and the Church in this loving, inclusive, and revolutionary book. 
A powerful call for tolerance, acceptance, and support—and a reminder of Jesus' message for us to love one another. In this moving and inspiring book, Martin offers a powerful, loving, and much-needed voice in a time marked by anger, prejudice, and divisiveness. 
On the day after the Orlando nightclub shooting, James Martin S.J. posted a video on Facebook in which he called for solidarity with our LGBT brothers and sisters. ""The largest mass shooting in US history took place at a gay club and the LGBT community has been profoundly affected,"" he began. He then implored his fellow Catholics—and people everywhere—to ""stand not only with the people of Orlando but also with their LGBT brothers and sisters."" Father Martin's post went viral and was viewed more than 1.6 million times. 
Adapted from an address he gave to New Ways Ministry, a group that ministers to and advocates for LGBT Catholics, Building a Bridge provides a roadmap for repairing and strengthening the bonds that unite all of us as God's children. Martin uses the image of a two-way bridge to enable LGBT Catholics and the Church to come together in a call to end the ""us"" versus ""them"" mentality. Turning to the Catechism, he draws on the three criteria at the heart of the Christian ministry—""respect, compassion, and sensitivity""—as a model for how the Catholic Church should relate to the LGBT community.
