Honest and insightful description of struggle and loneliness as a gay Christian. The parallels between the author and Henri Nouwen were striking in their similarity. Made me reconsider how much of Nouwen's anguish was a consequence of his sexuality.

The Scriptural reflection was traditional and did not shed new light no The conversation.

I was struck, however, by the compassionate response Hill received from his fellow evangelicals and how influential that was on his commitment to staying in the church.

Would recommend: Yes

I recommend this book, but I don't have, like, passionately strong feelings about it. It's a good, necessary read.

A much more personal approach than Allberry's book. Hill is very upfront with his struggles, particularly with loneliness, which makes the material applicable to any Christian who is not married. Although the tone of the book is a bit dark, he ends with a message of hope and redemption.
