The testimonies in this book help us break down the barriers that people living with HIV too often face.’ * Norman Fowler, the Lord Speaker * ‘This book makes for challenging but vital reading for the Church.’ Dame Sarah Mullally, Bishop of London * Dame Sarah Mullally, Bishop of London * ‘Deeply and rightly unsettling.’ * Gareth J. Powell, Secretary of the Methodist Conference * 'This book is a proclaiming of the gospel as well as a call to judgement. It is necessary material for the self-examination and self-awareness of any Christian minister or community.’ * Rowan Williams, Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge *
