Product Description:
Gene Robinson is bishop of the tiny, rural Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire, but he's at the center of a storm of controversy raging in the Episcopal Church and throughout the worldwide Anglican Communion involving homosexuality, the priesthood, and the future of the Communion. This book offers an honest, thoughtful portrait of Robinson, the faith that has informed his life, and the controversy that continues to rock his Church.

- In the Eye of the Storm by Gene Robinson
A wonderful book by a very godly person. It was inspirational all the way through.

- An Amazing Man!
We read the book "Going to Heaven: The Life and Election of Bishop Gene Robinson" written about him and were impressed by this man. Reading the book BY him, makes you wonder why we didn't hear about him sooner.

His life and his values are something for anyone to try to live up to, straight of LGBT!

- Great guy, not-so-great book
In every interview I've ever heard, and in the documentary, "For the Bible Tells Me So," Gene Robinson comes across as a grounded, prayerful, thoughtful man. I appreciate his courage and, as an Episcopal priest, continue to rejoice at his 2003 consecration. I had looked forward to reading his book.

Yet I've found it disappointing and haven't been able to finish it. I think this is because, in the words of the book's subtitle, Gene has been "swept to the center." Probably this is an inevitable destination for the first openly gay bishop of our time, but I longed to hear a more radical theology, one that takes the experience of the sexually marginalized as a starting point for a strong, yet loving critique of Christianity.

What I found instead was a nice, moderate theology that makes this a great book for a teen just coming out to give her or his parents, but breaks little new ground. ... Read More

- The Eye of the Storm is for all to read!
Gene Robinson's book is a must read for people of all circumstances. He compassionately tells his story and that of his Biblical understanding with regard to the love Jesus came to tell of and asked us to live out.
Before you draw conclusions or are held back by preconceived notions about this subject, please read the "human" side of this devout, deeply Christian man.
Robinson lives out his faith and accepts the challenges he has been given as a child of God. This is a call for us to make our way into a more compassionate response to this and others who seek to live out their faith as God has called them and us to do.
