PSA: LGBTQ advocate Steve Young’s new book, edited by Marci McPhee

"Even if we understand the idea that we should love people, we sometimes think we’re supposed to love them back onto our path instead of respecting their own journey. I’m not trying to love people into coming with me. I’m just loving people."

Long-time LGBTQ advocate Steve Young has published a new book: The Law of Love. The editor is Marci McPhee, editor of Evan Smith’s Gay LDS Crossroads. In fact, Evan’s interview on Richard Ostler’s podcast was the catalyst that eventually connected Steve and Marci.

In this book Steve describes more of his and his wife Barb’s LGBTQ advocacy, expounds on an idea from Derek Knox of Beyond the Block podcast, and more.

THE LAW OF LOVE—loving as God loves, seeking another’s healing, expecting nothing in return—is a simple principle with profound, life-changing implications. How can we live the law of love? Steve Young shares insights from his own multifaceted life as well as from others who are scientists, fellow Latter-day Saints, Anglican, atheist, Baptist, Catholic, Confucian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, and secular people of wisdom, as well as from the scriptures. This practical book may shift your mindset to a more expansive worldview that just might change everything. Whether in football, work, church, or family, the law of love is undefeated.

Available in paperback on Deseret Book and Kindle on Amazon, with audiobook (in Steve’s voice) and hardcover coming soon. Spanish coming next year.

“Love others on their journey, without loving them back to my journey.” - Steve Young
