Book review — A war of loves

Book: A war of lovesAuthor: David BennettPublisher: ZondervanRetail Price: £12.99 (buy now)
Review by John Funnell1 minute readNovember/December 2019, page 30

A war of loves

Although an academic, David writes in a most accessible way that takes the reader on an emotional journey through his struggles as a gay atheist and then as a gay Christian. Without undermining or questioning the Bible’s clear teaching on the subject, David challenges the churches response to the LGBT+ community. David is mindful of the various nuances in the broad spectrum of human sexuality and presents God’s truth in a loving and compassionate way, avoiding and highlighting the many misunderstandings that all parties are guilty of. David’s writing overflows with God’s love and shows us how Jesus is always the answer to such complex and deeply personal issues.

This book will educate the believer in how to welcome the LGBT+ community into God’s kingdom as Christ himself would have done and backs it all up with the Bible.
