Book Reviews of The Children Are Free: Reexamining the Biblical Evidence on Same-sex Relationships

Book Review: The Love of God Extends to ALL People, Including Gays, Lesbians, and Transgendered
Summary: 5 Stars

I highly recommend this book to pastors/preachers of conservative mainline churches (such as evangelical churches, and especially the Southern Baptist Church, which I feel has lost its way due to its outspokenness on gays, abortion, and stem cell research.
The world is lost and the church doors are locked. Please read this book and examine your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus, our Lord. You just might receive a blessing!!!

Summary of The Children Are Free: Reexamining the Biblical Evidence on Same-sex Relationships

In The Children Are Free, Rev. Jeff Miner and John Tyler Connoley offer a comprehensive yet easy-to-read examination of the biblical evidence regarding loving same-sex relationships and God's attitude toward them.

In Chapter One, the authors lead the reader through a discussion of each of the six passages traditionally used against gay, lesbian, and bisexual people. In their friendly and authoritative style, they demonstrate how an anti-gay interpretation is a misapplication of these scriptures.

Then, in Chapter Two, Miner and Connoley turn our attention to the biblical stories and passages that affirm loving same-sex relationships. Did you know Jesus once met a gay person? Jesus' loving response is just one of the well-researched stories presented in this chapter.

Chapter Three asks readers to take seriously the call of Jesus to think more deeply about biblical rules. And Chapter Four calls Christians to action, making a connection between the conflicts in the early Church and those occurring within the Church today.

This book belongs in the library of any Christian questioning the role of Scripture in the lives of gay, lesbian, and bisexual people, or the role of GLB people in the Church.
