madisonboboltz 's review for:
I'm not gay. My mom saw me reading this book and asked me if I was. I told her I wasn't. I didn't really mind her asking, because she is totally an amazing parent and probably wanted to make sure I was comfortable talking to her about such things, but it did kind of make me wonder if people would assume I was gay by reading this book. So that's where the issue is.
THIS BOOK IS NOT JUST FOR GAY PEOPLE. This subject should be read and studied by all Christians. It's certainly relevant in our culture today, and with the amount of gay people suffering depression, losing their faith, and committing suicide, I don't know what kind of Christian I could call myself if I didn't read up on the other side of the argument... The one that affirms same sex orientation within the church.
I stopped believing homosexuality was a sin my freshman year of high school after reading an extensive essay/presentation my sisters friend wrote for her Honors Capstone project in college. After that I did online research on both sides of the issue for a few months, talked about it a lot with friends and family, prayed about quite often, and found that I no longer considered it a sin. The Liturgists Podcast recorded an excellent episode that I usually recommend to people who are questioning, but I'll probably recommend this book now as well. Vines relies heavily on scripture and research, and his arguments are solid. He considers every comeback from non affirming Christians and gracefully rebuttals it. I hope more people get their hands on this! The LGBTQ community needs more support from Christians if the hate and prejudice is ever to end.
