A War of Loves
The Unexpected Story of a Gay Activist Discovering Jesus
(Zondervan, 2018)

WHO: David Bennett, a writer and speaker with the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics and Ravi Zacharias International Ministries.

HE SAYS: “Whatever our sexual orientation, we all must die to our desires so we may be brought into the new life of God’s kingdom.”

THE BIG IDEA: This book describes the author’s personal quest for truth, provides insights into two sides that often misunderstand each other and discuss the universal questions of love that everyone has.

“I was a Christian. I also was gay. What did that mean? They felt like irreconcilable realties, identities at war.”
