Dr. David P. Gushee is an expert in Christian ethics, and the author and/or editor of over twenty books. He gave his heart to Jesus in 1978. In "Still Christian: Surviving the Radical Changes in American Christianity," he chronicles his journey as a follower of Jesus from childhood to present day, as he navigates the frictions and schisms of evangelical Christianity.

I have had a strong desire to read this book because it is written by a theologians and scholar--someone who has studied and taught Christian ethics for over two decades. I had no doubt it would be interesting, and I was hoping for some clarification on some key points concerning Jesus' approach to social justice, inclusion, and the importance of honesty and integrity in one's Christian walk with Jesus. I received that and much more. I will be moving on to his book "Changing Our Mind: A call from America's leading evangelical ethics scholar for full acceptance of LGBT Christians in the Church." This book has also prompted me to read more on the subject of Christian ethics.
