Lesbian, gay and bisexual Christians can be found in every shape, size or type of church and following their faith outside the church. They are constantly talked about, but their voices, and those of their friends and families, are rarely heard. This unique book is filled with their stories and offers plenty of practical, positive help on managing relationships with God, the church and other people.
Attitudes to homosexuality have become a defining issue for many churches, with impassioned arguments being put forward on different sides of the debate. This book show how individuals and churches can live out their faith with integrity in spite of the arguments and sensationalism.

The issue of sexuality is a question with which all mainstream churches are now engaged. Here, the authors draw on the experiences of a wide circle of friends and acquaintances who have been personally involved with this issue. They use stories, reflections, readings, prayers, cartoons and top tips to suggest practical ways of managing and enriching relationships with God, the church, and other people. Upbeat, brave and open this is based on many Christians' lived experience.
