This book is good for Christian's looking for a book focused on what scripture has to say for gay and lesbian Christians. This book this packed full of well researched points siting numerous sources. It's clear, concise and convincing. This book offers a few personal stories but is largely doctrine focused. This makes it less emotionally moving and more intellectually comprehensive of scripture. This book is designed to be shared with people who hold to a literal interpretation of scripture as Gods word. As I read it I just kept thinking of all the people I know who need this book. It's a must read for all christians who see scripture as the literal word of God.
I'm thankful for Matthew's intelligence and devotion to scripture. His sermon(on youtube) on this topic was the first afirming message I ever heard. It set my life on a path to freedom from years of shame and self hate. I met Matthew at a bible study for LGBT+ Christians. His faith is so sincere and I'm inspired by his compassion for non afirming christians.
I look forward to attending the reformation project conference next month in orlando😊.
