The authors present a very beautiful vision of a God who is perfectly loving and merciful towards all people, embracing all people in an ever widening mercy. They base this vision of God solidly on scripture. It's a deeply beautiful and solidly scriptural book if you want to learn all about how God perfectly loves us. But is it a good answer to the question of issues of sexuality in the Church? Yes... but not on its own... if you reject the notion that the "clobber passages" aren't talking about Homosexual relationships but still want to find a scriptural way to justify including LGBTQ people in the church than this is the book for you. If you are like me and you believe that the "clobber passages" aren't talking about Homosexual relationships then you'll still get something out of this book but be aware that the authors does believe that the "clobber passages" are talking about Homosexual relationships and they don't reveal this till the final chapters... hence why the whole book is more of a deep scriptural meditation about God's unbounded love and mercy (that the author argues most definitely includes LGBTQ people, which I agree) rather than a theological argument proving why homosexual relationships aren't wrong. Not all that impressed but happy I read it as it was a great meditation on God's love.
