As a gay Christian who is just recently refinding his faith, I read this book for a unique reason. I knew, prior to reading this book, that God loved me, Jesus died for my sins, and the Holy Ghost works through me to create a better world for those around me. What this book provided me was a reframing of the Bible verses and stories used by non-affirming members of the Church to dissuade me from loving myself. Moving forward, this will be a book I return to as I reconcile the trauma I was imparted with by non-affirming Christians and hopefully use this knowledge to fuel the faith of myself and others. I love that the author, in the final chapter, states that being affirming isn't optional for Christians, it is commanded by God. The author ends the book by listing resources and information that applies to LGBT Christians, LGBT-Affirming Christians, and anyone looking to support the LGBT Christian movement. Overall, it's exactly the book that I needed to read as an LGBT Christian returning to Faith.
