“Within the pages of Being a Sanctuary, Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez lays bare a thought-provoking journey into the essence of Christ’s vision for his church. This book sparks a vital discourse on restoration and the true embodiment of what Jesus intended for his community, the Body of Christ. This book is essential reading for those yearning to rediscover a church that embodies the profound love and grace of Christ, offering solace and strength as Psalm 46:1 assures: ‘God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.’ This is the strength the church must cling to during its present crisis of apathy.”—Latasha Morrison, New York Times bestselling author of Be the Bridge; CEO and founder of Be the Bridge

“Pricelis’s love for the church is matched by her passion for truth. In this crisis moment of the church, many will find their own story in this book. Many of us will resonate with this longing to belong to something real and meaningful that points to the beauty and justice of God. This invitation to restoration through truth is one we all need.”—Sandra María Van Opstal, pastor and author of The Next Worship

“Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez addresses the church with passionate love. Sometimes those with the strongest words speak boldly because they have ferocious hope. That hope is palpable through these pages. Pricelis calls the Body of Christ to rise up and shine like Christ himself.”—Faith Eury Cho, pastor and author of Experiencing Friendship with God

“As a pastor, I am grateful to have voices like Pricelis’s in the church. As we all learn how to serve better those who have been hurt in the church but do not leave the church, books like this will prove an invaluable resource.”—Jeremy Jenkins, executive director of All Things All People

“Rather than grow calloused from serving as collateral in the white evangelical machine, Pricelis chose softness and safety. Throughout these pages, she invites readers to see themselves as welcoming sanctuaries to all image bearers, embodying the gospel for every tribe and tongue.”—Tiffany Bluhm, author of The Women We’ve Been Waiting For and Prey Tell

“Being a Sanctuary is a challenge: a challenge to comfortable Christianity and self-centered faith. Pricelis is not afraid to face complicated, painful topics, including her own story of church hurt and loss, to help Christians become a safe place in a wild world. Being a sanctuary means really seeing people: not just stances and sides but people loved by God who need a truth that sets them free.”—Phylicia Masonheimer, founder and CEO, Every Woman a Theologian
