Book Description
Modern Christian denominations are deeply split about whether or not heterosexual relationships between one man and one woman are the only sexual relationships permitted by God. Several denominations, including the one to which the author belongs, consider evidence of any sexual relationships other than heterosexual relationships to be sufficient evidence to bar the participants from church membership. The book you are holding contains the story of the author's extensive search through scripture, coupled with his direct experiences with LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people), all of which led him to a different conclusion than that of his church. May this book bring comfort and hope to those LGBT people everywhere who are sincerely searching for Christian fellowship. And may it help them find grace and acceptance as both gay and straight Christians work in peace and harmony while praising God above all, trusting in Christ's death and resurrection for salvation and showing sacrificial love in all things, including their sexual lives.

All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes
Author: Maya Angelou
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 067973404X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
In 1962 the poet, musician, and performer Maya Angelou claimed another piece of her identity by moving to Ghana, joining a community of "Revolutionist Returnees" inspired by the promise of pan-Africanism. All God's Children Need Walking Shoes is her lyrical and acutely perceptive exploration of what it means to be an African American on the mother continent, where color no longer matters but where American-ness keeps asserting itself in ways both puzzling and heartbreaking. As it builds on the personal narrative of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and Gather Together in My Name, this book confirms Maya Angelou’s stature as one of the most gifted autobiographers of our time.

A Road Less Traveled: and Not for Just Us
Author: ThomS
Publisher: LifeRich Publishing
ISBN: 1489709479
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
For much of my life, I believed the lack of detailed information about the early years of the life of Jesus of Nazareth was a major cover-up. I believed its suppressed because it did not fit the story being sold. Over the years, I have come to believe in a more refined truth. It does not exist because its retention was not important at the time he lived. By the end of his ministry of about three years, what passed on in oral traditionshepherds who became kingshad their stories told and written down. Seen are the results of the work of carpenters and masons, but their lives were not. How a man grew from being a child to boy to man was not as important as the results of his life. We were told a descendent of Abraham met God at a burning bush; we know little of how he got there. Victors write history. Victors do not include what does not support what they wish were known. To purposefully exclude first requires that there is something known. I wrote a book that has my answers to my questions I have asked over the years. I tell people that I could be like Clark Kent but never a Superman. I am from Earth, not Krypton. Similarly, I can be like Jesus of Nazareth, but could never be a Christ. I hope I will cause you to think about life and love. Both are precious to me, and I hope you have an abundance of both. Sincerely, ThomS
