Love Beyond Monogamy

How Polyamory Can Enrich Your Spirituality, Faith, and Relationships

Integrating your spirituality and sexuality can be daunting – these parts of life can feel very separate, even contradictory. Activist, educator, relationship coach and co-founder of QueerTheology.com, Brian G. Murphy, is here to change that.

Available everywhere books are sold.
