*I received a complimentary copy of this book from Multnomah Publishers in exchange for my honest review.
Gay rights. Homophobic, Equality for all.
These
are terms that are being mentioned daily in the media. Many people are
trying to get their viewpoint to be accepted, on both sides of the
situation. However, some fail to see the most obvious problem: people need Jesus.
In
Messy Grace, Caleb Kaltenbach tells the story of his life growing up
with two moms. He tells of marching in gay-pride parades, talking to
others about homosexual rights, being mocked, and questioning why others
held the stances that they did. He felt confused, angered, hatred, and
pity. Then he found Jesus Christ.
Kaltenbach continues his book
with the love that Christians should have for LGBT peoples which should
point them to Christ. Start with questions and dialogues; debating will
not work. Be open and honest but do not try to cram the Bible down
someone's throat.
I really appreciated this book and found it
easy to read and very relevant. Considering some laws that have been put
into affect this book should be read by those wondering how to talk to
someone in the LGBT community but from understanding of leading them to
Christ.
