Amazing book, filled with bits of wisdom as to how to approach this topic.

Being a Christian in 2023 (especially a younger one) comes with a lot of issues, that others (even other Christians' like the older generation) haven't needed to consider as much. Going through High School and College, and even post-college, I've met a lot of people that are within the LGBT community. The question is, how am I supposed to deal with that? You can't look to the older generation of Christians, as it's hard for them to wrap their heads around the “why” in it that they just blanked the statement of “don't do it”, the Bible can be confusing to read, and yet you still don't think the mainstream culture has it right.

This book is amazing if you identified with my earlier paragraph. Caleb Kaltenbach goes through and clearly lays out both the logic within the Bible, and yet how to still have a relationship with individuals who identify as LGBT. It's an important skill to learn, and Caleb does a great job conveying the nuance of the topic.

Also will note that I read this with my bible study, and it was received well, so it's a great book to go through in a group as well.
