Synopsis:
A review: This one-volume commentary is written from the REFORMED point of view. The authors are established scholars who hold completely to the fundamentals of the Christian faith. It is not a devotional commentary, rather, it focuses on understanding what the Bible says and means, leaving it up to the reader to apply this to life today.
The Roam'n Church: While this commentary is a bit conservative for my tastes, it is a great handy resource I often refer to.

Title: Stranger at the Gate : To Be Gay and Christian in America
Author: Mel White
Info: Availability: This title usually ships within 24 hours. Reprint Edition Paperback, 347 pages Published by Plume Publication date: April 1, 1995
Synopsis:
From Amazon.com: As seen on 60 Minutes. Until Christmas Eve 1991, Mel White was regarded by the leaders of the religious right as one of their most talented and productive supporters. He penned speeches for Ollie North, was a ghostwriter for Jerry Falwell, worked with Jim Bakker. What they didn't know is that Mel White--evangelical minister, committed Christian, family man--is gay. In this book, White details his twenty-five years of being counseled, exorcised, electric-shocked, prayed for, and nearly driven to suicide because his church said homosexuality was wrong. His salvation--to be openly gay and Christian--is much more than a unique coming-out story.
The Roam'n Church: Mel White is well known to us at the Roam'n Church (and at Lavender Road MCC). We give our highest recommendation to this book and its wonderful author.
