Pages : 228
Book Description
What if every church in America preached the truth - that the Bible is pro-gay - what would happen? It would change the world. There are many churches that do not welcome gay congregants and refuse to promote gay professionals within their church hierarchy. But imagine if mainstream Christian churches spoke up for their gay brothers and sisters in Christ? What if mainstream churches preached the pro-gay Word of God that is in the Bible? This is now possible. God is Gay shows step-by-step what God says on the gay issue in the Bible. It is there now-hiding in plain sight. Once the reader sees what God has plainly stated in His Word, the reader can never return to the state of "un-seeing." Learn what the Bible was actually saying to the people in the times the Bible was written. The Bible is still saying that to us today. Forget what the media tells you about the Christian Bible supporting homophobia. They're lying to you. And this book will prove it. Simply put; God is not against homosexuality. In this book you will learn: -What specific blessing God has placed on gay believers; -That Jesus said he is like the gay population, forgoing women; -That the gay population in Bible times were prized and appreciated; -That in Bible times, the gay population was considered a third gender, but -The Catholic Church disposed of the third gender concept, by church decree, more than 300 years after the Bible was written; -There is no law in the Bible against gay sex; and -What the Bible says that supports gay marriage today. If you are ready to take the blinders off and read what the Bible truly says, then buy this book now.

Gay Conversations with God
Author: James Alexander Langteaux
Publisher: Findhorn Press
ISBN: 1844099792
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Representing a first in gay and Christian publishing, this provocative book presents a complete reversal of thought and action, contending that God loves homosexuals without attempting to refute scripture references. The study confronts its subject with a quirky sense of humor in the spirit of the “bedtime story,” providing a rare evangelical Christian volume addressed directly to the gay community. Unorthodox in its presentation, this guide speaks the language of those who may feel abandoned, condemned, and damned while avoiding reinterpretations of scriptural passages, making the gospel accessible to a younger, free-spirited generation. Spearheading a volatile topic with candor and grace, this consideration reframes the never-ending question, Is homosexuality a sin? and instead asks the gay community for a cease-fire—to forgive, love, and help put a stop to a cultural war being waged in the world.

No More Faking Fine
Author: Esther Fleece Allen
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310344778
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

Gay Girl, Good God
Author: Jackie Hill Perry
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 1462751237
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
“I used to be a lesbian.” In Gay Girl, Good God, author Jackie Hill Perry shares her own story, offering practical tools that helped her in the process of finding wholeness. Jackie grew up fatherless and experienced gender confusion. She embraced masculinity and homosexuality with every fiber of her being. She knew that Christians had a lot to say about all of the above. But was she supposed to change herself? How was she supposed to stop loving women, when homosexuality felt more natural to her than heterosexuality ever could? At age nineteen, Jackie came face-to-face with what it meant to be made new. And not in a church, or through contact with Christians. God broke in and turned her heart toward Him right in her own bedroom in light of His gospel. Read in order to understand. Read in order to hope. Or read in order, like Jackie, to be made new.

God Believes in Love
Author: Gene Robinson
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307948099
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
From the IX Bishop of the Diocese of New Hampshire in the Episcopal Church, the first openly gay person elected to the episcopate and the world’s leading religious spokesperson for gay rights and gay marriage—a groundbreaking book that persuasively makes the case for same-sex marriage using a commonsense, reasoned, religious argument. Robinson holds the religious text of the Bible to be holy and sacred and the ensuing two millennia of church history to be relevant to the discussion. He is equally familiar with the secular and political debate about gay marriage going on in America today, and is someone for whom same-sex marriage is a personal issue; Robinson was married to a woman for fourteen years and is a father of two children and has been married to a man for the last four years of a twenty-five-year relationship. Robinson has a knack for taking complex and controversial issues and addressing them in plain direct language, without using polemics or ideology, putting forth his argument for gay marriage, and bringing together sacred and secular points of view.

Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Embrace God's Love Every Day What if God sent you a personal, daily message to remind you that he is present, that he loves you, and that things are going to work out? Will Bowen's To You, Love God is a collection of life-changing messages straight from the source. Simple yet deeply moving, this 365-day devotional speaks to you directly with the wisdom, love, and compassion of God. Will Bowen is an ordained minister, sought after motivational speaker, and author of the international bestseller, A Complaint Free World, among other books. He lives with his family near Kansas City, Missouri. Begin each day with a deep awareness of God's presence: Come with me. I am walking just ahead of you-always in sight, never more than a pace or two ahead. Here I am. Take my hand. I have amazing things to show you. Love, God Reader testimonials: What a gift-sort of a "spiritual vitamin" to start each and every morning. Some of the messages are so profound that they have found their way laminated and into my wallet or on my desk where I can see them every day. -M. Manard, Gladstone, MO I really feel like I am talking to God when I read them every morning. You have so helped me. -M. Clesi, Boca Raton, FL The devotions lift me up beyond the daily dramas, always pointing up towards the Light and Truth that never changes. -S. Farrow, Vancouver Island, BC On many occasions the messages are exactly what I need that day. Recently I have been sharing them with my teenage daughter and she loves them! -S. Garland, Kansas City, MO I can't tell you how much "To You, Love God" has meant to me. I read your inspired messages every morning, and what a beautiful way to begin the day. They give comfort, peace, and insight into experiencing the life God wants us all to experience. -J. Westhoff, Green Valley, AZ These messages are the backbone of keeping my attitude positive, and helping me learn to accept others and myself as beings created by God. -P. Loffstrom, Zinga, Tanzania The messages of "To You, Love God" have inspired and sustained me through some of the most difficult times of my life including a divorce and the recent sudden loss of my daughter.-C. Pizzi, Calabash, NC "To You, Love God" inspires me, makes me think, and most importantly, helps me appreciate all the blessings that come my way. -D. Kelley, Clifton Park, NY I read these daily letters from God after I pray and meditate. They seem to be written directly to me each day. -E. Ruppert, Delray Beach, FL I count on starting my day with the wisdom of "To You, Love God." - S. Prince, Long Beach, CA I look at life differently than I did before. Gone is the "poor me" attitude. - K. Hill Morristown, TN They are always inspirational and often "spot on" as to what happens to be going on with me in my life. Very uncanny! -T.
