Concerning & Potentially Concerning Content

There is so, so much to be concerned about here. First and foremost, while Christians are certainly called to love all people it does not mean we sacrifice 'telling the truth, in love', no matter how unpopular it is. This book is clearly aimed at a promoting a view of homosexuality that, while militantly advanced in our current culture, is counter to the orthodox, traditional, conservative, biblical Christian view of God's intent for His world. On top of that, here is a small sample of the content collected from multiple reviewers that shows this book to be inappropriate for any age: There is foul language and 'underage drinking'. Nate is referred to with 8-10 instances of 'f-g, and it's variations, SuperF-g, f--got, and F-gster, and insults like homo, fairy, Gays and Dolls, and Natey the Lady'. Nate 'walks past a gay bar and sees men kissing inside, there are references to a stripper pole, drinking, and other adult topics... There's a very obvious coming out scene to his best friend'. Mom is also an alcoholic. His best friend 'sneaks a look into Anthony's underwear drawer and makes him flex, shirtless. There are fleeting references to a father's affair with an exotic dancer, strippers, pole dancing, a woman in a catsuit with leather b--bs, and the Museum of Sex. A male porno mag found in a student's locker is mentioned.' There are also many instances of God's name taken in vain and similar items. The core of this story also revolves around Nate lying, running away, stealing his brother's fake id and stealing his mom's ATM card.
