Does Jesus Really Love Me?: A Gay Christian's Pilgrimage in Search of God in America is part memoir and part investigative analysis that explores the explosive and confusing intersection of faith, politics, and sexuality in Christian America.

The quest to find an answer is at the heart of Does Jesus Really Love Me? - a personal journey of belief, an investigation, and a portrait of a faith and a nation at odds by award-winning reporter Jeff Chu.

From Brooklyn to Nashville to California, from Westboro Baptist Church and their "God Hates Fags" protest signs, to the pioneering Episcopalian bishop Mary Glasspool - who proclaims a message of liberation and divine love, Chu captures spiritual snapshots of Christian America at a remarkable moment, when tensions between both sides in the culture wars have rarely been higher.

Funny and heartbreaking, perplexing and wise, Does Jesus Really Love Me? is an intellectual, emotional, and spiritual pilgrimage that reveals a nation in crisis.

An extensive discussion of Christianity and homosexuality

Mr. Chu spent a great deal of time interviewing people across the country from a variety of backgrounds, beliefs, and faiths. Informative and engaging, I gained a new understanding of people with views I didn’t comprehend, and I also heard my own beliefs echoed in the words of others. I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in how faith and homosexuality intersect.

powerfully & passionately presented.

Listening to this book was like having a conversation with an old friend. At the conclusion I felt like I was parting with my old friend. That is how personable the author, Jeff Chu, related to the audience.

Beautiful

This was such a heartbreaking yet encouraging journey to go on with this author. I so appreciated the way the various voices throughout the book were handled with grace and honesty. It doesn’t shy away from the pain nor the beauty.

Appreciate the work of love

No matter how you feel about the relationship between the LGBTQ community and the church, one thing we should all agree upon...it needs work! This book helps the listener understand the harm the church is doing by neglecting to show the love that is supposed to be the trademark of a follower of Christ.

God does love

Thus was a difficult book for me to read. I cried I hoped and I pray for those of us who are hurting parents and children. I pray for me as I examine this sin have divided us Christians as no other sin have. God wants to love. Do we love him?
