He also makes a compelling case for vehemently opposing such a change.

“An excellent book”

With Skill and Compassion Vaughn Roberts deals with a very difficult and growing subject. He does so from a thoroughly Biblical perspective, not ducking any of the questions that arise as thinking Christian consider this subject.
As a retired Baptist Minister, I wish I had had a copy of this book when I was actively involved in Pastoring. It is a book, albeit a brief one, that could be read profitably by every Christian but especially by serving Ministers.
