An intimate behind-the-scenes look at the entertainment world ("brilliantly written, filled with humor”—Joan Rivers), seen through a fifty-year love affair between two men. With a foreword by director Mike Nichols.

Gay marriage is at the forefront of America's political battles. The human story at the center of this debate is told in Double Life: A Love Story from Broadway to Hollywood, a dual memoir by a gay male couple in a fifty-plus year relationship. With high profiles in the entertainment, advertising and art communities, the authors offer a virtual timeline of how gay relationships have gained acceptance in the last half-century. At the same time, they share inside stories from film, television and media featuring the likes of Marlon Brando, Katharine Hepburn, Rock Hudson, Barbra Streisand, Laurence Olivier, Truman Capote, Bette Davis, Robert Redford, Lee Radziwill and Frances Lear.

“We both grew up at a time when homosexuality was not even spoken about,” the couple writes. “There were certainly no books that could help a young person understand that two people of the same sex could build a happy, productive and loving life together. When we entered our 50th year, another same sex couple told us we were ‘an inspiration’, so we began to feel we had the responsibility to make what we’ve experienced available to others. We also wanted to show people who were not gay that our life was not unlike theirs. We are all pretty much the same, so we deserve equal protection under the Constitution.”

Christmas and Easter are really all about the same story.

It's a story of unparalled love. Find it in John, Chapter 3 verse 16.

He willingly died for us while we were still sinners.... (I didn't have to clean my act up before finding Him_ He claimed me as a friend and then worked on cleaning me up). There is also a story told in this Book of a great wedding feast coming in the (near) future. I'm invited. I hope you're invited too.

What is it about this Jesus that makes us love Him or hate Him? Is it Him and who He is; or is it what's inside of us that keeps us from wanting to know Him more?

If you don't know Him just ask Him to make Himself known to you. He has promised that if we seek Him, we will find Him. Ask God to reveal Himself to you and He will lead you to His Son, Jesus.

Jesus didn't go to the cross for some of us, He went to the cross for all of us; but we have to accept Him and acknowledge Him as Lord of our life and all creation for His sacrifice to mean any thing to us personally!
