description: Glen O'Brien recounts some spiritual experiences of gay men, and then reflects on these experiences in the light of stories and events in the gospels. In the presence of Jesus to the ""sinners and outcasts"" of his time he sees a clear statement of God's love and compassion for all people, and a context for dealing with the pain that many gay people suffer in their sense of exclusion from the Christian community. ""Valuable book for an often persecuted minority and it explains how the Church can open its arms to this flock.""--Books Ireland. ""The author of this fascinating and beautiful little book gives us the opportunity to listen to the experience, the feelings and the spirituality of many gay people... The insights are more than just intellectually enlightening, they are deeply spiritual, echoing the wisdom and love of the Holy Spirit. To read this text with an open mind is to be touched by that same Spirit.""--Sean Fagan in Spirituality.
