The issue of sexual orientation generates much debate. But we often forget about individual Christians, our friends, for whom this struggle is a daily reality. Alex Tylee convinces the reader of the need for compassion, honesty and uncompromising holiness in relating to ourselves and others.

Tylee affirms her commitment to salvation as God's way of dealing with sin and explores sensitive areas such as identity and evangelism in the homosexual community. She encourages her readers with a firm biblical basis to walk lovingly with friends, whether gay or straight; earning the right to introduce Jesus without assumption or pre-judgement, with understanding and humility. Her well researched arguments are based on personal experience and interviews; the case studies illustrate how Christian friends can make a life-changing impact on others at university.

This book is genuinely worth reading. It is not formulaic in its approach or derogatory in any way. It places Jesus at the centre, challenging us to think, change, and obey his command to love our neighbour as ourselves (Matthew 22:39).
