Publisher's summary

Love does not begin with condemnation.

Can an evangelical theologian and his gay son overcome the differences in belief that threaten to destroy their relationship? For Brad and Drew Harper, that question wasn't theoretical - and neither was the resounding "yes" they found after years of struggle. Writing to each other with compassion, grit, and humor, Brad and Drew take us on their journey as parent and child - from the churches of Middle America to the penthouses of New York's party scenes, from a pastor's-kid childhood and painful conversion therapy to the hard-won victories of their adult relationship.

But Space at the Table is more than just a memoir. It is a guide, showing us a way through the roadblocks that threaten to devastate both families and the broader evangelical and LBGTQ communities. Speaking from their own experience, Brad and Drew offer an invitation to join them in a place where love is stronger than the beliefs that divide us.

Thought-provoking, touching and full of practical tips for LGBT kids and parents.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. I enjoyed hearing father and son share their story, which at times is funny, heartbreaking and hopeful. Whether you are facing this issue in your own family, or in your spiritual life more broadly, this is a helpful addition to the discussion. Both authors have gone out of their way to be fair with the opposing views and yet candid about their own feelings.

A must read for all evangelicals

I loved this book. I loved that this father and son could find that being in relationship with each other was the most important thing. As an evangelical Christian I believe that love needs to always win; not hate, not judgment. Let’s do what is lovely.

A beautiful challenge

Listening to this family’s story is simply captivating. At times painful & even gut-wrenching, it is also full of refreshing honesty, humor, and most importantly, hope.

Just Powerful

Drew puts so perfectly... disagreement does not mean disconnection. We must put the hamanity and dignity of a person first.

Powerful and Engaging

I laughed and cried the entire way through this incredible story told by a father and son. I feel that the authors narration gave it a life of it's own.

Uncomfortable and essential

I think from either side this story will break you down and build you back up from a place of compassion.

Amazing Story.

This tale of a father and son finding each other even despite major differences is particularly poignant as I drive to my parents' house for Father's Day. Great book regardless, made even more special by the timing.
