I'm not aware of that title however, a good book on the subject of inclusive Christianity is that of , "The Gospel of Inclusion: Reaching Beyond Religious Fundamentalism to the True Love of God and Self"
His personal epiphany caused him to be expelled from the very church he helped to build, because his new doctrine was not considered in keeping with the traditionalists, the sectarian bias that his parishioners cleaved to. And as such, he was deemed blasphemous in his ministering and thrown out of his own church.
Now he thrives with a new congregation. One that is open minded to the philosophy that god is too.
However, it must be said that the same divisive attitude among Christians is what divides others of the Abrahamic faiths. Doctrine and it's interpretation. Thereby making god in man's image and likeness as the "one true god" and the closed canon are subject to prejudice, elitist dissection and application and divisiveness amid the community of those sworn to one Christ, one god, while cleaving themselves apart arguing as to who's interpretation of the written word is truly as god wills it to be understood.
