At the moment I have 3 books on the go - this is not good, but each of the books is. Whilst I'll review it later, I really want to recommend people get hold of Exchanging the truth of God for a lie by Jeremy Marks who runs Courage .
It is the story of an evangelical who has had to answer the difficult questions and go through a painful journey in order to recieve freedom. It is the story of somebody who has had to face the reaction of his sub-culture when a change in the organisations stance, based on a full examination of the bible and the experience of harsh realities, meant he went from running an ex-gay organisation to a fully affirming organisation.
It's a book I would encourage evangelicals to read and engage with, even if they find they end up coming to different conclusions.
