I think I'll have to add this to my "must track down" list.

being GLBT is not drawn in opposition to being Christian. Manuel, I am happy to say, does not experience the Bible as an anti-gay cudgel -- he has an honest love for Scripture, and does a good job communicating that to the reader.

Oh, hooray! Someone like me in a book!

Just your description of this book gives me a little bit of hope. Thanks!
