As a pastor, how do you break through such resolute convictions and ask your congregation to look at the wide variety of issues concerning human sexuality? Is it Time? does not attempt to convert your church to a particular point of view. Rather, its goal is to help you begin a dialogue about this important subject by encouraging your congregation to reflect on questions about homosexuality instead of formulating answers.

"My hope is that persons who read this book will become aware of the wide variety of issues related to the subject of homosexuality; will be encouraged to reflect on each of them; will think through the meaning of whatever answers they give to the questions the book raises; will grapple with the implications of the stances they take; and will engage in conversations with others—both in a one-on-one setting and in a group." — from the Introduction
