There is no doubt in my mind that the issue of our day is homosexuality, and there is equally no doubt in my mind that Is God Anti-gay? is therefore a MUST read for every believer!

Allberry is more than qualified to provide this well-written, biblically-sound, pastorally sensitive contribution that will help clarify the issues, answer objections, and point people to the only true hope, the Gospel. Allberry is a single guy who serves as an associate pastor in the UK. He struggles with same sex attraction (SSA) and has found his strength, hope, and life in the Gospel.

In fact, the greatest strength of Allberry's book is that he sets the issue of homosexuality within the larger context of the Gospel. In doing so, he is able to identify homosexuality or SSA as sin, just like any other sin, a distortion, rejection, of God's good provision and will for marriage and our sexuality. The point is that we are all sinners, whether this happens to be our specific struggle or not. Therefore, the Gospel is the hope and answer for the homosexual just as it is for every other sinner in this world.

Allberry not only carefully reasons from Scripture regarding God's good design for sex and marriage, he also carefully answers from Scripture the common objections against the biblical view of sexuality. Furthermore, in a very pastoral and caring tone, Allberry explains to those who struggle with this issue how the answer for them is the Gospel. He explains the power and sufficiency of the Gospel from Scripture and from his personal testimony of applying the Gospel to his life, that is, his struggle with SSA. For additional counsel, Allberry explains how the church and individual believers can reach out to those who face this issue with biblical, wise, gospel help.

In the final analysis, the answer for those who struggle with SSA is not "God loves me and this is the way I am." The answer is "God loves me enough to make me more than I presently am!" And that is the answer for all of us!
