Loving My (LGBT) Neighbor: Being Friends in Grace and Truth

Short Review: I think this is a broadly helpful book that is a good reminder that LGBT people are neighbors in the Christian sense and to be loved. Really the basic book is just a charge to be a Christian and be a decent human being.

There is some good discussion about instances that Christians may have issues with, Should you attend a gay wedding? Should your church allow LGBT people to attend, volunteer, participate in bible studies, etc? What should parents do if their child comes out to them. And while I am not sure I agree with all of the results, the discussion is the more important part.

In the end I am not sure the book is really for me. I started with these assumptions. This book is really for people that need permission to love people properly. There is a heartbreaking story about a mother with a gay child that thanked the author at an event for being given permission to love her child. That type of understanding is really incomprehensible to me.
