Summary

Pieter Cilliers's autobiography, first published in South Africa in 1997, is a heartrending story of a gay pastor's struggle to come to terms with his homosexuality.

Description

In Pilgrim - an updated and expanded reworking of his original autobiography, Cilliers challenges the church's attitude towards homosexuals and argues that South Africa's inclusive Constitution has not yet led to an unconditional acceptance of gays.

Critic Reviews

“This is the heart-rending story of a man's life as he tries to come to terms with who he is. Books like these could help in some way to understand those who are so glibly rejected by society and its rules of normalcy.”

"Observing the transit of Venus across the face of the Sun caused excitement in America when it made a rare appearance in 2012. Drawing largely on primary sources, Aughton (UK author of Newton's Apple) presents a biography of the little-known British astronomer who predicted and observed this event in 1639. The book includes a new preface, chronology, glossary, and illustrations."-- "Reference and Research Book News"
