We Love You, You’re going to Hell

In this book Dr Kim O’Reilly tries to bridge the divided gap of Christianity and Homosexuality. She seeks to bring those who are divided, together and seek a discussion around the topic instead of the usual Us vs Them mentality. I found it to be a good intro book into the subject. Dr O’Reilly grew up in a conservative evangelical household and is herself gay. She provides some of her story as a jumping off spot. I found the fact that she knows both worlds to be helpful and lend a credence to her writing. The chapters are broken nicely into themes and are easy to read. She provides information and footnotes so one can research more if they choose. As I had stated earlier, this is a good intro book. It presents a basic understanding of both sides so each side and understand each other and build on common ground with dialogue with hate, contempt and name calling. It is a step in the right to conversation and maybe in the end we agree to disagree, but treat each other with respect and love as children of God.
