Product Description
Twenty-six couples share their personal stories of faithfulness to God and to each other. The book challenges the premise that these people are living in sin and are a menace to society. It also challenges the myth that being gay is all about promiscuous sex. One of the couples has celebrated over 40 years of life together. Also included are stories and poems by parents, spouses, and friends of GLBT persons. The authors come from a wide variety of religious denominations and from locations in the U.S. and Canada. The book is an invitation to take a serious look at what it is like to grow up gay or transgender in a society that scorns and rejects people of diverse sexual orientation.

After Roberta Kreider's first book, "From Wounded Hearts" this second
book "Together in Love" was eagerly awaited and it does not disappoint.
Gay or straight you will find couples stories that will surprise and touch you. Even a heterosexual couple who got back together after a gender change in the husband. Truly love conquers all!

Together in Love is an amazing and totally unique book. In it I found dozens of stories that break all the stereotypes, and reveal in true beauty, the faith stories of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender couples. The stories are unforgettable. This is a valuable reference for people who are going through the coming out process, and want to know how other people did it. It is also very helpful to parents and families of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals, to show them that normal lives full of joy and love can be theirs. The love so clearly evident in these stories provides compelling proof that love and happiness can abound in these relationships. Thank you Roberta for providing us with this inspirational, insightful, and useful book!Roberta Kreider's life could be a book in itself! She is the wife of a retired Mennonite minister (who with Roberta is a leader in working to make the Mennonite church welcoming to GLBT), and her journey from her Mennonite upbringing to becoming a GLBT rights activist in her 70's is a fascinating one. I think the last paragraph in her introduction will give you an idea of who she is: "To truly embrace all of God's creation as good and worthy of respect and love is the most freeing experience I know. Never again do I want to judge another person by skin color, status in life, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or by what those in authority determine for me. I am experiencing in a much deeper way than ever before God's unfathomable heart of love for me. May this also be true in your experience." Thank you so much Roberta!!!
