This book is full of three things that are not always much in evidence in our debates on sexuality--fresh air, common sense and manifest love of Christ.

I welcome it very warmly. - Honorable Reverend Dr. Rowan Williams

"Justin didn't leave the church when he realized he was gay...he has been too determined to show them how much he loves them...This is the story of how one Christian man's faith taught him to accept himself, serve others who are in need, and bridge the gap for those who do not always understand." - Jennifer Knapp, Singer/Songwriter, Founder of InsideOutFaith.org
