Compassion Without Compromise: How the Gospel Frees Us to Love Our Gay Friends Without Losing the Truth

“Pastors Barr and Citlau weave Scripture, theology, and personal experience to explain why homosexual practice doesn’t deliver on its promise, and they give practical, compassionate counsel for dealing with the hard, personal conundrums that each of us face.”

“At last someone has written a book like Compassion Without Compromise! Barr and Citlau have managed to be biblically and theologically faithful, culturally astute, pastorally sensitive, and fun to read—all in just 160 pages.”

“I know Ron and Adam well and know firsthand that the title of this book matches who they are as disciples of Christ. I can also attest to their ability to address this hot topic with the warm grace of Christ. Christians, pastors, church leaders, and same–sex attracted persons... this is a must–read!”

“The authors ask, ‘How can we be compassionate, uncompromising witness in a culture that celebrates what the Bible censors?" And the answer they provide is as practical as it is compassionate and uncompromising.”

“This book delivers exactly what the title states, ‘compassion without compromise,’ which is specifically what is needed today... I am thankful for Adam and Ron's heart, tone, and sound interpretation of the Scriptures.”

“Adam and Ron have given a gift to Christians and the church. This book will help you stay faithful to the truth of Scripture while loving people in your life who struggle with same–sex attraction. After you read this book, you will find yourself telling others about it because of the hope and value you will draw from the wisdom contained in its pages.“

“Raw, honest, grace–filled, and boldly biblical, Compassion Without Compromise addresses the questions all of us are asking. If you want to talk with, walk with, and help family and friends who deal with same-sex attraction, this book provides all you need to get started.”

“Both the church and the culture are being ripped apart by the homosexuality issue. Adam and Ron have given us a most important discussion of ht issue that is biblical, personal, and practical. I know of no other work that encompasses all three approaches.”

“In this timely book, Barr and Citlau offer down–to–earth advice to Christians who seek to celebrate God’s intended plan for marriage, while extending compassion and hope to people trapped in homosexual lifestyles. Their proposal is filled with course, conviction, common sense, and confidence in the power of God's gospel.”

“Compassion Without Compromise seeks to be candid help on a difficult topic: the complex variations of modern sexual brokenness. You may cheer one page and jeer another. But, having heard the mind of two pastors who wrestle honestly with sexual issues every day, at least you will find help to make up your own mind.”

“These pastors/authors equip us to love persons with same–sex attraction well. Born of life in the real world, their efforts are profound yet conveyed with a light touch that makes a tough subject an enjoyable read”

“With conviction and grace the authors articulate biblical teaching about the sinfulness of homosexuality. They also provide wise, loving, and practical guidelines that are profoundly useful as the church engages people in need of the light of Christ on this issue. I hope you will read the book and make it available to many in your church.”

“I can't imagine any Christian not being helped by this book... If you are looking for a resource that will help you think about the issue of homosexuality with unflinching truth and with sincere grace, this is a great place to start.”
