Author Wesley Hill is a same-sex-attracted man who is convinced that God’s will for human sexuality is that it be expressed within heterosexual marriage. He has committed to a life of denying the natural cravings of his sinful nature and honoring God with chastity. And yet, if God has not called him to love a wife and children, then he is left searching for “a location for [his] love” (22). In Spiritual Friendship, Hill develops the history of friendship, then traces the devaluation of friendship in modernity. He then calls for a return to a historic Christian practice of friendship, one in which brothers and sisters in Christ share greater commitment, openness, and spiritual intimacy – things that western culture has reserved almost exclusively for marriage and family relationships. Hill makes his argument not by developing points and subpoints, but by stringing together stories, questions, and musings. He suggests a way forward for individuals and for the church, but he doesn’t claim to have all the answers. This is the beginning of a conversation, not the whole thing. This book is an open window into Hill’s heart by which he seeks to awaken hope in any Christian – gay or otherwise – who’s longing to find “a location for their love.”
