The Rainbow and the Cross: Help for Pastors: Church Practice Concerning Biblical Sexuality
By Elijah Paske
Christian leaders have been caught off guard as culture is accelerating an acceptance for all things LGBT+. To offer both truth and grace toward people who experience same-sex attraction is becoming confusing and difficult. There is little help for pastors about how to respond to many new and complex pastoral issues. Questions arise when a church needs to find what can be the best way to love a lesbian couple who has come with their children? Or how may a pastor respond when a leader in the church announces that they are gay, and God made them that way? This book will open understanding about how same-sex attracted people and their families experience church. Pastors from several denominational backgrounds provide knowledge from their involvements with such issues, while same-sex attracted congregants tell of their experiences and voice their powerful ideas. |

How People Change
By Timothy S. Lane & Paul David Tripp
A changed heart is the bright promise of the gospel. When the Bible talks about the gift of a new heart, it doesn't mean a heart that is immediately perfected, but a heart that is capable of being changed. Jesus' work on the cross targets our hearts---our core desires and motivations---and when our hearts change, our behavior changes. It's amazing to watch people who once seemed stuck in a pattern of words, choices, and behaviors start living in a new way as Christ changes their hearts. |

Craving for Love
By Briar Whithead
Today's church is filled with self-gratifying obsessive behaviors. We ask too much of our relationships, expecting them to deliver meaning, which only Jesus can give. We set up food, work, people, and money as replacements for the one and only true God. And then we are disillusioned when our needs aren't met. In this book, born from the author's own experiences as a relationship addict, Briar Whitehead examines the whys of addiction, the affects of addiction, the steps toward healing, and the role of the church in it all. The author asserts that homsexuality is one of the clearest expressions of the tendency to make someone else an "all-in-all" in the attempt to relieve emotional pain. |

Understanding Gender Dysphoria: Navigating Transgender Issues in a Changing Culture
By Mark A. Yarhouse
A helpful introduction on issues related gender identity
Few topics are more contested today than gender identity. Complex issues like gender dysphoria are reduced to slogans and sound bites, and transgender individuals end up being the casualties.
Mark Yarhouse, an expert in sexual identity and therapy, equips the church to rise above the political hostilities and listen to people's stories. In Understanding Gender Dysphoria, Yarhouse offers a Christian perspective on transgender issues that eschews simplistic answers and appreciates the psychological and theological complexity. The result is a book that engages the latest research while remaining pastorally sensitive to the experiences of each person.
Yarhouse calls Christians to come alongside those on the margins and stand with them as they resolve their questions and concerns about gender identity. Understanding Gender Dysphoria is the book we need to navigate these stormy cultural waters. |

Messy Grace: How a Pastor with Gay Parents Learned to Love Others Without Sacrificing Conviction
By Caleb Kaltenbach
Raised by LGBT parents, Caleb Kaltenbach was very familiar with some Christians attitudes toward gays, based on the hatred and bitterness often directed toward his family. It's not surprising then that as he grew into a young man he wanted very little to do with those who claimed to follow Jesus. As a student, Caleb started attending a Bible study and youth group with the purpose of learning more about Christianity in order to attack it. However, the more he learned about Jesus, the more he wanted to know, which ultimately lead to his conversion. Ironically, Caleb was a Christian teen "coming out" to his gay parents.
In Messy Grace, Caleb chronicles his journey of showing love to his family and the LGBT community, while believing the truths proclaimed in the Bible. He also gives hard-earned advice to Christians seeking to understand the tension of real relationships lived in the balance of love and truth. Includes Reflection and Discussion Questions for individual or group study.

Closing the Floodgates
by Dr Ann Gillies
This book exposes the biased, unscientific, and corrupt methods used to promote the sexual revolution of the last sixty years. In her powerful and compelling analysis, she shows how the truth of scientific fact has been overturned in the interest of pleasure and personal feelings, and how a determined minority is using social engineering to reconstruct our social and moral worlds by redefining gender, sexuality and the family. She draws an alarming picture of the consequences: identity confusion among the youth; sexual abuse and victimization of children; soaring rates of suicide and sexually transmitted diseases; the embedding of false, unhealthy, and immoral teaching in the school curriculum; and the loss of freedom of speech and parental rights.
