Space at the Table: Conversations Between an Evangelical Theologian and His Gay Son by Brad Harper
5.0
Wow. What a beautiful, heartwarming, practical, and relevant book.
Here’s what I loved:
- the love between father and son despite polarizing worldviews
- the critiques of the Christian church when it comes to admitting their deep mistakes in mistreating the gay communities and treating them as outcasts
- the practical advice given to Christian parents if their children do come out as gay
- the authentic acknowledgement that not every gay person who grew up in the church will decide to either stay Christian or remain celibate
- the deeper empathy that I now have for the gay community
- the real facts and history when it comes to how Christians have historically voted for laws that have hurt the gay community in ways that are unloving and ill informed
- the honesty between both father and son in how they still disagree with each other but they still love each other so deeply
P.S. the audiobook is read by both authors and is phenomenal!
