Suzanne DeWitt Hall (she/they) is the author of The Language of Bodies (Woodhall Press, October 2022), which Wally Lamb called "...a film noir between covers—dark, tense, and sexy."

She also penned the Where True Love Is devotionals, the Living in Hope series which supports the family and friends of transgender people, The Path of Unlearning faith deconstruction books, and the Rumplepimple adventures.

Suzanne lives with her transgender husband, two terriers, and a cat named Chicken. Her work is designed to shine the light of love into hearts darkened by discrimination and fear. You can learn more at www.sdewitthall.com

May our memories be a blessing

The mysteries of death are at the forefront of my mind this week. It started with the nation's collective vigil during the days Trump abstained from appearing in public, and compounded with the actual deaths of two individuals I've known through my work. 

First the one who didn't die: 

What must it be like to live a life in which millions of people await your death with hungry anticipation, scro

Quotes by Suzanne DeWitt Hall  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Jesus is like us in every respect.
Don’t brush this sentence off casually. Let it sink in, deep to the core of who you are. God is like us in every respect. He is like the transgender woman who is worried she’ll be murdered while walking to her car after work. He is like the broken-hearted gay man who can’t attend the church of his childhood. He is like the bisexual intersex person who doesn’t conform to gender norms and endures the snide looks and sniggers of strangers. He is like these people just as much as the heterosexual man who is comfortable performing his gender in a way this society finds acceptable.”
Suzanne DeWitt Hall, Where True Love Is: An Affirming Devotional for LGBTQI+ Individuals and Their Allies

“God’s palette of shifting hues is vast, subtle, and beyond our comprehension. We humans are like those colors. Subtle, shifting, unique. Non-binary. Unable to be labeled or singled out.
Beautiful and one-of-a-kind, and seen by God’s eyes alone.”
Suzanne DeWitt Hall, Where True Love Is: An Affirming Devotional for LGBTQI+ Individuals and Their Allies

“As Christians, we have the choice to set our hope in the law or in Him whose mercy triumphs over judgment. Let’s set our hope in Him, and pray He will judge us according to our love. And let’s pray that Christians who structure so much of their faith around law will have their hearts attuned to the words of Christ.”
Suzanne DeWitt Hall, Where True Love Is: An Affirming Devotional for LGBTQI+ Individuals and Their Allies

“It's a secret code," said Calvin. "Girls are not not like boys. If a boy wants to kill you, he says 'I'm going to kill you.' If a girl wants to kill you, she says, 'We need to talk.' That's the code."

I gasped. "Has a girl ever wanted to talk to you?" I asked.

"Yup," said Calvin.

"How come you're still alive?" I asked.

"I vomited," said Calvin.”

“As Christians, we have the choice to set our hope in the law or in Him whose mercy triumphs over judgment. Let’s set our hope in Him, and pray He will judge us according to our love. And let’s pray that Christians who structure so much of their faith around law will have their hearts attuned to the words of Christ.”
Suzanne DeWitt Hall, Where True Love Is: An Affirming Devotional for LGBTQI+ Individuals and Their Allies

“Unless we filter all of our contemplation of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures through the person of Christ, the words are impenetrable. And as our first week’s study informed us, the person of Jesus is love. We will revisit this truth throughout the entirety of this book, because it is the key to every argument you face about LGBTQ+ issues.”
Suzanne DeWitt Hall, Where True Love Is: An Affirming Devotional for LGBTQI+ Individuals and Their Allies

“So listen up, conservative Evangelical Christians: you have to choose. Either the scriptures are unchanging and therefore dead, or they are living and therefore equipped for change and adaptation, through the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Suzanne DeWitt Hall, Where True Love Is: An Affirming Devotional for LGBTQI+ Individuals and Their Allies

“May Jesus always be the filter through which we interpret the Bible. May we never fear wrestling with its meaning.”
