About this listen

When a white, middle-class, Christian, heterosexual, able-bodied man begins to question all of these cultural realities that he has been raised within, something is sure to give. The cultural fishbowl is sure to be cracked. Woven is such a story. The gradual awakening of a man to his gender, economic, and racial privilege. It is the story of growing up within contemporary evangelicalism, the dissatisfaction that began to arise, and the subsequent journey of self-discovery.

Woven is a story of dissatisfaction. A story of struggling and wrestling, and questioning. It is the story of self-confrontation and institutional-deconstruction and spiritual-reformation. Woven is a naming of the realities we would prefer not to name, the owning up to our own bigotry and entitlement. It is an audiobook that is sure to challenge both the conservative and the progressive, whilst also paving a way forward for all of us seeking to grow in our humanity and connectedness.

Joel Mckerrow is an award-winning writer, speaker, educator, creativity specialist, and one of Australia’s most successful performance poets.

A compass to navigate the journey of faith

Not so much a map but a quality compass to guide anyone who’s faith has been disrupted, disappointed, disillusioned or destroyed to some new understandings, healing and hope. Or perhaps you just find yourself constantly distracted by the world beyond the your church window, this book is for you. Thanks Joel, a treasure in my collection!

an important account for our time

there is a lot to like about this book, but mostly for me it was because I could really personally relate to Joel's experience of rediscovering a meaningful and practical spirituality out of a loss of faith in religion.
I wish I had this book 30 years ago
Joel's reading is very much in the style of his preforming poetry, it may not suit everyone but I loved it.
