Available now in pre-release from Pilgrim Press, Pastor Aubra Love offers a theological memoir, Our Lactating God: The Embodied Amen. Fulfilling the yearning for a time of truth-telling, this prolific author pours out an intimacy in the context of situational ethics. 

Our Lactating God: The Embodied Amen is a deeply personal meditation on the everyday work of loving upon the embodied image of God within ourselves. As her central theme, pastor and author Rev. Aubra Love uplifts Isaiah's image of the God who nurses and nurtures us: "Can a mother forget her suckling child?" (Isaiah 49:15) 

The cover of Our Lactating God: The Embodied Amen, is being shared here exclusively from The Pilgrim Press, a bold voice with a rich heritage spanning 400 years of publishing, which traces its roots through the United Church of Christ's denominational ancestors. A compelling discourse, Love’s work explores historic Black church joy, justice movement principles, internalized oppression, colorism and the sacred self as manifested through our bodies. 

Culling from her colorful childhood adventures, young adult struggles and grown woman standing-on-business, this book — Pastor Love’s first in this genre— masterfully emphasizes an embodied presence of being Black and female with southeastern US sensibilities set in a climate of North American apartheid. 

Our Lactating God: The Embodied Amen is a testament to the author’s witness of a God who is ever mindful of human discomfort, even the suffering of every sentient being; a God who seeks to offer respite and relief.
