MESSY GRACE - How a Pastor with Gay Parents Learned to Love Others without Sacrificing Convition

Caleb Kaltenbach

A pastor with an unforgettable inside story shows evangelicals how to nurture healthy, respectful, and biblically informed relationships with people in the LGBT community.
When Caleb Kaltenbach was a toddler, his parents divorced and independently pursued homosexual lifestyles. As a result, Caleb was lovingly raised in the LGBT community. To his enduring surprise, Caleb became a Christian--and a pastor--as a young adult.

MESSY GRACE invites readers into what may be the most urgent and difficult conversation evangelicals face today: "How can we relate to the gays, lesbians, and transgendered among us in a way that honors Christ's love while adhering to what we believe Scripture requires?"

Through revealing personal story, biblical teaching, and practical solutions, Caleb's non-judgmental voice and life-tested counsel will appeal to a broad psychographic of evangelicals who understand that despite the good intentions of most on this issue, some Christians have done great harm and we desperately need constructive answers.

"Real, relevant, and relational—Messy Grace steps right into the existing chasm between the Christian community and the gay community and provides the sound biblical direction about how the gospel is the grounds for how we can mend and connect in a Christ-honoring way."

"Caleb's story down categories, crushes stereotypes, and will make you think differently than you thought before—regardless of your convictions. Anyone who loves Jesus and loves friends and family members who are LGBT is going to want to read this fascinating book. Okay, scratch the conditions. I think anyone is going to want to read this book."

"Caleb's story is surprising and unique, and he weaves it together compellingly. He states his views clearly, leaves room for disagreement, and champions love no matter where you are in this conversation."
