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. But nobody could predict the explosive series of events their decision sets into motion, not only in their town, but in other lives as well - including Scott's father, a well-known conservative preacher. These dedicated Christians learn about sacrificial love.
And You Invited Me In is a bridge that embraces diversity with unconditional love. 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.

Thanks for the book...It looks explosive and wonderful. That combination is hard to come by. I hope the book gets out to a wide reading audience and markets well, because your message is one that needs to be heard.

In a time when so many just turn away from those struggling with HIV/AIDS, And You Invited Me In faces it square on, touching the heart and the soul with tenderness and care. This is a "must reading" for anyone with a heart!

I want to tell you that I enjoyed your book. I do think it will be great for heterosexuals in conservative church groups who are dealing with this issue. It was great meeting you.
