Perhaps we are all frail, comic facsimiles of Jesus, stumbling along in the dark, falling into our various foibles, pitfalls, and vices, longing for redemption. Whether readers can find themselves here or not is for them to discover, but the author in some strange way finds himself on nearly every page.\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eLet the believers be reminded of Jesus's declaration from the book of Mark: \"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mac Gay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1604542667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781604542660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iris Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.21d","brand":"Mac Gay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076281168127,"sku":"9781604542660","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c204f7d-0841-497a-8d79-ca567293a09d.jpg?v=1685464133","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-least-mac-gay-9781604542660","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
