Washed and Waiting: Reflections on Christian Faithfulness and Homosexuality

Praying, in our sanctuary
last weekend.

I'm reading Washed and Waiting: Reflections on Christian Faithfulness and Homosexuality, by Wesley Hill. I just finished 50 pages, and think it's a good read. (Thanks J.R.)

For many years Linda and I have been privileged to know and meet with Jesus-followers who are homosexually oriented and want help, counsel, and fellowship. I think this book can be a help.

From the back cover: Hill "advocates neither unqualified "healing" for those who struggle, nor their accommodation to temptation, but rather faithfulness in the midst of brokenness. "I hope this book may encourage other homosexual Christians to take the risky step of opening up their lives to others in the body of Christ," Hill writes. "In so doing, they may find, as I have, by grace, that being known is spiritually healthier than remaining behind closed doors, that the light is better than the darkness."
