About this ebook

At 14, David Bennett came out to his parents.
At 19, he encountered Jesus Christ.
At that moment, his life changed forever.

As a young gay man, David Bennett saw Christianity as an enemy to freedom for LGBTQI people, and his early experiences with prejudice and homophobia led him to become a gay activist. But when Jesus came into his life in a highly unexpected way, he was led down a path he never would have predicted or imagined.

In A War of Loves, David recounts his dramatic story, from his early years exploring new age religions and French existentialism to his university experiences as an activist. Following supernatural encounters with God, he embarked on a journey not only of seeking to reconcile his faith and sexuality but also of discovering the higher call of Jesus Christ.

A War of Loves investigates what the Bible teaches about sexuality and demonstrates the profligate, unqualified grace of God for all people. David describes the joy and intimacy he found in following Jesus Christ and how love has taken on a radically new and far richer meaning for him.

A brilliant read. A rare combination of vulnerable honestly in personal story and carefully researched and referenced theology becoming clear through a long and costly journey. I believe this book will be found accessibly welcoming and helpful, by both orthodox Christians wanting to think through a tricky area, and members of LGBT+ community seeking to build bridges or discern a truly Christian understanding of these things - and our shared struggles in a a broken but wonderful world being recreated in love. Thank you David!
