Convinced that real satisfaction can be found only in a relationship with Jesus Christ, the author aims to encourage, inspire and equip all who struggle with same-sex temptations to resist, but 'make him their greatest treasure and live life to the full'.
He invites us to dig deep and discover great truths about our awesome God and his plans and purposes for our lives, for only then can we live bravely, boldly and counter-culturally.
He writes candidly, humbly and sensitively, with fellow strugglers in mind, but also their friends, families and the church leaders who support them, interweaving deeply personal stories from real life. God is good. He can be trusted even in the most painful situation. The surprising paradox is that it is the narrow road that leads to the abundant life promised by Jesus.

The author's honesty is going to be incredibly helpful for people grappling with these issues. It was for me. * Ed Shaw * Jonathan and Rob write with such warmth and understanding that the fact they call Christians to the "narrow road" in Christ doesn't seem so bad anymore, as they point to a flourishing of humankind that opens into an infinite enjoyment of the One who gave us sexuality in the first place ... It's a long, hard road, the Christian life. But we'd do well to walk in their footsteps. -- Peter Grier * Al-Jabr *
