    Has anyone read it? I think it is just amazing! My mom bought it for me, it's about a gay Christian boy who is having trouble accepting that he is gay. Then he meets a gay Christian boy who doesn't feel bad about his sexuality and did not give up his faith. I was worried it would be too cheesy or dumb, but it was really a thought provoking book and inspiring. I recommend it to anyone, including non glbt people :slight_smile:

    It's one of my favorite gay christian books. It's not as good as "So Hard to Say", but it's one of Sanchez's best. :]

    What section of the bookstore would that be in? The LGBT section at a local bookstore seems to have only erotica... :/

    I took a friend to a movie, and after dropping him off at home I secretly went to a bookstore! And I secretly found and bought and read The God Box! It's a great book! I felt akin to the characters and loved the bible quotes Sanchez included. I was a little disappointed that the main character didn't have any siblings, because I have four older ones and feel like no one else has that particular obstacle. Whatever, the book was awesome.

    Today I went to the local library and got a library card! They had some of the Rainbow series by the same author! My mom was there, so I didn't check them out, but I feel great because I can start reading again, without spending money or having to drive (it's walking distance). The moral: Get a library card!
