Living It Out - The Book Launch

A couple of nights ago I attended a book launch at Waterstones near Euston Station. I haven't attended one before, but this one was important to me as a) it was written by two dear friends of mine and b) I contributed to it.

The book is called "Living It Out" and is basically a survival guide for Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Christians, their families and friends. Whatever your own views I'd recommend this book as it mentions the personal stories of those involved in such situations and is another timely reminder on how we need to treat this issue with thoughtfulness, concern, and above all, respect. My contribution is on Pg 45 and basically mentions the history of my friendship with a lesbian friend and how difficult it was to show Christianity in a positive light with some of the prejudices that exist within some churches.

You can read more about the event and the book here, suffice to say that dipping into it yesterday was challenging and helpful and also spoke to me about areas in my (heterosexual) life which I haven't given much thought to. That's how much of an eye opener "Living It Out" is
