The Bible really is gay-friendly and affirming says Rev. Samuel Kader as he shows in his ground-breaking book what lessons can be learned from Scripture, history and experience. Here is direct language we find what is really contained in the Bible regarding homosexuality and gay relationships, and the results are truly surprising. Jonathan, an Old Testament lsrealite, was probably not only gay but in love with the same man (David) as his sister. Both brother and sister had a marriage ceremony of life commitment to King David in the Biblical account. But David declared he loved Jonathan the most. Ruth proclaimed undying love and commitment to her dear Naomi, and the words were so powerful that at heterosexual weddings ever since, people repeat the same vows at the altar. These issues and more are explored by Rev. Samual Kader, a pastor in the flow of the gay Christian movement since 1975. Scriptural and anecdotal evidence is given to show that "gay and Christian" is a powerful move of God on earth. Rev. Kader's pastoral and personal insights make this pioneering book a must read for all people.

Known for his thought provoking insights and teachings, Reverend Samuel Kader delivers informative spiritual lessons with a sense of humor. His calling to minister and educate all of God's children has taken him around the world, pastoring gay affirming Christian churches in Melbourne Australia, and Grand Rapids Michigan. In 1986, Reverend Kader founded the Glory of Christ Community Gospel Church in Dayton, Ohio where he resides with his spouse Gerald, their dogs; Dusty and Dee Dee.
