A Measure of Breath
On a train journey to a church disciplinary meeting, a minister carries the weight of illness, memory, and the quiet ache of betrayal. A Measure of Breath is a contemplative novel that explores what it means to lead when one's own wounds remain unhealed--and when silence in sacred spaces has done deep harm. As the train moves forward, so does a reckoning. Through memory, lament, and moments of hard-won clarity, the minister confronts not only his past but the cost of survival itself. This is not a story of triumph but of witness. Of choosing to speak when it would be easier not to. Of breathing, even when breath is pain. A Measure of Breath invites readers to sit with uncomfortable truths: about faith, justice, leadership, and the stories our bodies carry long after words have failed. Whether you are a person of faith, a survivor, or someone who knows what it is to walk through fire and still serve others, this book is for you.
His writing draws from lived faith, liberationist theology, and the hope that endures through silence, struggle, and grace. He shares life with his wife, the Revd. Dr. Tessa Henry-Robinson. They have four adult children and three grandchildren.
