And You Invited Me In
Alex Marshall is dying of AIDS. Over his partner Scott's objections, he asks his conservative Christian sister, Annie Whitley, to help take care of him. Annie must decide whether to hold to her position of separation, hoping to force Alex to repent of his sins, or go to him without expectations. Close family friend and football legend Jett Taylor insists she will become tainted by the sin of homosexuality if she follows her heart.
Annie and her family must learn the true meaning of God's grace to show Alex and Scott who Jesus is. And You Invited Me In is a moving story that answers the question: does extending grace equal agreement? This modern-day parable is a powerful portrayal of the courage of one family who finds a way to live according to their faith while honoring the family bond under the most-challenging of circumstances. It is a life-changing, thought provoking, unforgettable novel that will capture the attention and hearts of readers from diverse backgrounds and faiths.

I couldn't put the book down once I started it. A perfect example of how God takes bad situations and uses them to heal and minister to hurting people. I hope and pray this story helps a lot of people to realize their true Christian responsibilities and choose to love unconditionally.
