BOOKS ON SEXUAL ATTRACTION

 


Eve Tushnet’s Tenderness invites gay Christians to rediscover God’s unconditional love and find healing from rejection and doubt. Through scripture, history, and her own story, Tushnet offers hope, guidance, and practical wisdom for living faithfully and authentically.

A resource for both gay believers and those who care for them, the book reimagines faith through love, friendship, & trust in God’s grace.

 

 

 


Costly Obedience explores the lives of Christians who experience same-sex attraction and choose celibacy as an expression of faithfulness to Jesus. Authors and psychologists, Mark Yarhouse and Olya Zaporozhets, base their insights on research involving 300 participants and in-depth interviews with 13 celibate gay Christians. The book discusses how church environments, personal identity, and beliefs about sexuality influence their spiritual journeys & everyday lives.

BOOKS:

 


In The Genesis of Gender, Dr. Abigail Favale examines how modern views of gender emerged from feminist and postmodern thought, reshaping how people understand sex, identity, and the body. Blending personal reflection with scholarship, she contrasts these ideas with a Christian vision that upholds the dignity of the body, the meaning of sexual difference, and harmony of creation.

The book offers clear, compassionate insight for those seeking a faithful perspective on today’s gender debates.

 

 

 

 

 









Through Emerging Gender Identities, psychologists, Mark Yarhouse and Julia Sadusky present a thoughtful Christian approach to understanding gender identity, especially among teens. Drawing on clinical and ministry experience, they address the rise of diverse gender identities and explain how these differ from conditions like gender dysphoria.

With compassion and clarity, the authors guide pastors, parents, and counselors in supporting young people while engaging gender theory through a Christian perspective.
