"Celibate opened my heart and touched on many different aspects of the human spirit…with themes that readers, regardless of religious background, will relate to and find compelling. The most powerful writing on faith that I’ve encountered, Giura’s story shows that dark nights…are made easier by living radically true to one’s self and one’s desires."
