Soundly Christian openly gay
This is the best book I have read that supports the inspiration of the Bible and yet supports a gay lifestyle. It is throughly Bible based and examines all the so called anti gay chapters with a sound Christian theology. This book should be read by anyone who is seriuous about finding out what the Bible really says about gay issues without drifiting into liberalism.

One of the best books of its kind!
Rev. Kader has both a deeply analytical mind and a deeply loving spirit. In this well-researched and carefully phrased study, he challenges homophobic readings of the Bible and uses his knowledge of scripture to show the Bible as "gay-friendly." He also uses his experiences to show the results of homophobia within the church and the questionable value of "ex-gay" ministries. This is one of the best books of its kind!
Kader might overstate (and re-state) some of his points at times, but only because so many hearts are so hardened by arrogance, bigotry, or self-hatred. This book is perfect for anyone who's gay and/or Christian, as well as for the loved ones of gay people. I'm sure countless other people will also rely on the insight Kader provides.
Sound, annointed and enriching
In the Charismatic movement, there is a strong tendency towards the Prophetic flow. It comes in many forms. The prophetic flow is found in worship, the Word of God etc., and expresses God's plan for the church. God has ordained the church to be a glorious, victorious people. In this book the prophetic plan of God for the church in the LGBT community is expressed in a clear and wonderful way. The outcast is given hope and a special place in the awesome plan of God. You need to read it carefully and prayerfully, so that the truths in there may become a part of your existance. God bless His Word in your hearts.
