Ever Lost Close Friends After Saying "yes" To Jesus/the Chur

[quote name='photosynthesis' post='1394202' date='Sep 27 2007, 08:38 PM']Yeah, that's another thing that happened with my former best friend. She said in her e-mail that she can't be friends with me because I believe all gay people are going to hell. I never said that.[/quote]

A similar thing happened to me, but not with a close friend. With a person whom I find it very difficult to get along with at the best of times.

For all of us who are struggling with these issues, I'd recommend a book that I found extremely helpful. [i]How [b]Not[/b] to Share Your Faith: The Seven Deadly Sins of Catholic Apologetics and Evangelism[/i], by Mark Brumley. Basically this is a small book (120 pages) and is very easy to read, but it contains great advice on how to share your faith with your friends and family in a civil manner. I would recommend this especially to people converting out of a fundamentalist or very anti-catholic protestant background. Here's a link to it on amazon: [url="http://www.amazon.com/How-Not-Share-Your-Faith/dp/1888992301/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-9129460-3452019?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1190935996&sr=8-1"]http://www.amazon.com/How-Not-Share-Your-F...5996&sr=8-1[/url]
