challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

An eye opening look not just at the issues that plague LGBTQ Christians when they encounter the prejudices of Heterosexual Christians but also into the development of the modern Evangelical/Protestant sexual ethic and the inconsistencies of both it and the application of biblical principles to heterosexual sexual ethic questions all wrapped up in a beautiful bow of God’s grace for the human being made in His image and a refocus on the core of the Gospel, the death of Christ in our place that brings us into His family and makes us coheirs with Christ in the Kingdom of God our Father, whether heterosexual or LGBTQ, whether celibate or married, wherever on the gender spectrum we fall or whether we theologically land on traditional sexual ethics or an affirming position.
