Australian Christian Book of the Year for 2002WHAT SOME OF YOU WERE
edited by Christopher Keane,
and published by Matthias Media
WHAT SOME OF YOU WERE is a bold and timely commentary on homosexuality from a distinctly Australian perspective.
It combines open, honest & at times moving personal stories of those who grapple with homosexuality (their own or that of people close to them). Personal testimonies are supplemented with appendices providing impressive medical, social and theological perspectives on the issue.
Of particular note is Tony Payne's very helpful exposé of the myths we've been fed in our secular understanding of homosexuality.
This book is refreshingly free of jargon and is a compassionate treatment of an issue which – the book itself admits – has been handled poorly at times by Christians.
Although necessarily technical in parts the book is readily accessible to a broad Christian readership.
The judges agree that this is a book which ought to be strongly commended to wide readership by the Christian community.

Valuable christian perspective on homosexuality
The book offered a different perspective on the problematic issue of homosexuality, giving various testimonies of the gay experience. A gay person would find something of value and interest in the hypothesis, while not necessarily agreeing with all the views laid down. 
Very good.
This book is very helpful to ordinary Christians trying to understand homosexual behaviour, especially when it is affecting the church.
We have a great God who can rescue anyone from this form of immorality with great love and patience.
This book should help us have a more compassionate response to our friends who have found themselves drawn into homosexual behaviour,and help them find the way back to Jesus.
