Does Jesus Really Love Me?: A Gay Christian's Pilgrimage in Search of God in America by Jeff Chu
4.0
Jeff Chu takes a journey across America examining churches all over the map - from Westboro Baptist Church to Metropolitan Community Church, Chu examines what it means to be a Gay Christian in the United States.
Part of my bias is that Chu is asking many of the same questions I am asking, and while he definitely offers his opinion (but not in a preachy way at all), his reporting is stellar and his writing style is friendly yet unapologetic. He does not gloss over the hard things, but gives a great examination of the full spectrum of this experience in the US. It was very eye opening and helpful as someone who is trying to learn more in order to be an advocate. I'd recommend it.
I was also surprised that several of the people in this book were people that I knew personally, and we'll leave it at that. :)
