This is a rounded and rousing book by a priest and therapist. With energy and imagination, the author challenges gays and lesbians to discern their true selves and to realize that God loves them as they are. McNeill believes the Holy Spirit is using the fallibility of religious authorities to guide the Christian community into new sensitivity and maturity. He affirms the liberating dimensions of 12 step programs and the gay-friendly attitude of Jesus. In the last part of the book, McNeill shows how gay liberation fits into "the Spirit-directed evolution of human history."
