The first lines of this review say it all without any intended disrespect to any other "hero." I was a a member of First UMC in Omaha from 1983-1999 before my return to Texas. I witnessed the controversy that Jimmy's inclusive gospel preaching and life brought. I also became increasingly convinced that I could, in spite of the larger church's teachings, accept my own sexuality for what it is--a blessing. Thank you, God.
