Honest Conversation: A Novel About Homosexuality and the Church

by Lindsey Kay

Honest conversation begins when a gay couple attends a mainline protestant church in a close community. The pastoral team has to choose where their loyalties lie: with the elders who don't want the gay couple to become members, with their own desire to be welcoming to all, or with God's call to mission? Sometimes mission leads you to places you otherwise would never go.

Throughout the story there are moments of pain and moments of light as Zoe Baker, associate pastor of the Church of the Living Blood, learns that sometimes when one seeks to redeem the world the person who needs the most redeeming is oneself.

Reviews

[Peel · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an ebook published by a favorite blogger of mine, a woman who used to write fascinating, God-centered apologetics about gay people and several other subjects. Eventually she wrote and published this ebook, and it is one of the best books I've ever read on the subject.

It's short, with a lot of theology that isn't thrown in your face. Instead, the plot makes sense and the end is satisfying. The characters are endearing and real. I wish it was still for sale, because I would recommend the book to anyone.
