You don't have to understand homosexuality in order to love someone." -Tom How do I show understanding and true concern when I find out my friend is gay? What do I say?

What Do I Say to a Friend Who's Gay? will help you find real, practical answers to these questions. You will learn what the Bible says about being gay-and how you can show real love for your friend the way Jesus would without judging or hating the person. Using real-life stories and solid biblical teaching, this book shows young adults how to stand firm in the truth of Scripture and reach out with compassion to a person who is gay.
