Different from the other books

Many books have argued that the Bible does not condemn same-sex relationships. In the vast majority of cases, however, the arguments sound like loopholes and excuses, not a sincere reading of Holy Scripture. (Sadly, this includes even the ever-popular "What the Bible Really Says About Homosexuality.")

This book is remarkably different! The authors don't make excuses or water down the text; instead, they take the Bible seriously and treat it respectfully, allowing the Bible itself to provide the best evidence for their case. Meanwhile, this book is so short, simple, and easy to read that anyone can benefit from it.

"The Children Are Free" is chock full of anecdotes and examples, making it a delight to read, even for people who don't normally read about the Bible. Those of us more familiar with the subject will appreciate the clarity of the authors' argument.

Other, similar books made me think, "Yeah, I guess I can see that," but this one left me wondering, "How could you come to any other conclusion?"

Free at last

I've been searching for a book that wasn't just speculation but used facts, logic, and scripture to examine homosexuality in the Bible. I believe this to be it. The authors use real life examples to better explain the concepts and ideas they desire to put forth and these enable the reader to make a more personal connection and see exactly what they are trying to say. As I finished the book, I felt free. What I had always known in my heart had finally been put down on paper without the brevity of a pamphelet or the confusion of a study.

Wonderful!

As a teen I didn't know if this would be a good book, but I love it. I've struggled with my family and my church over being gay and this book really helped me to understand the Bible better and have a positive outlook on my situation. I've read all of the books on the topic and this is by far the best. Highly recommended!

This is the most concise and freeing book...

that I've read in a LONG time! I was near tears as I just could not put this book down. I read it in a matter of hours, I just couldn't put it down. The authors really seem to understand what it means to be Christ Centered, and bring Christ's love and acceptance to all, no exceptions. For it is by GRACE we are saved! WOW! I hope all Christians, not only lesbian & gay Christians read this book! It is concise, to the point without pushing propaganda, but truely and honestly looking at scripture and at the awesome person of Christ! WOW!


Best book to open Christians eyes about Bible and gay people

This compact and readble book shows convincingly that the mainstream anti-gay sentiment in the church is based on a misreading of the Bible and of Jesus. But that's just the first chapter. The book goes on to show same-sex relationships affirmed by the Bible. It shows how Jesus' own approach -- affirming people over rules -- calls for Christians to embrace gay people as good, and part of God's creation. If you are a Christian with a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender relative or friend, you owe it to yourself to read this wonderful book. You will then want to buy a stack of them and give them to your friends and church, as I have just done. Slim, well-argued, to the point, and complete, it is the best book for this purpose I have found.
