On a daily basis, author and LGBTQ advocate Amber Cantorna receives emails asking the same question: How does one reconcile their sexuality with their faith? Depression, despair, and thoughts of suicide often haunt LGBTQ Christians as they feel unable to imagine the possibility of living a happy, fulfilling life as an LGBTQ person of faith. As the gay daughter of a thirty-plus-year executive of conservative Christian organization Focus on the Family, Amber lost everything when she came out as gay in 2012. However, her journey to embrace her authenticity brought her fulfillment and wisdom to share. Unashamed serves as a guide for Christians considering coming out, tackling tough subject matters such as demolishing internalized homophobia, finding an affirming faith community, reestablishing your worth as a child of God, navigating difficult family conversations (especially in cases where family is involved in church leadership/ministry), and healing from the pain of rejection. Unashamed encourages LGBTQ Christians to embrace their unique identities and to celebrate the diversity placed inside them by God.

A rich portrayal of living faithfully and happily as a Christian with same-sex attraction that paints a compelling picture of discipleship for every believer. As a Christian who experiences same-sex attraction, is it possible to live a life that's both faithful and fulfiling? Rachel Gilson wants to show you that it is and that it's not just a case of limping to the finish line, it's possible to run the race with joy. In this powerful and personal book, she describes her own unexpected journey of coming out and coming to faith... and what came next. As she does so, she addresses many of the questions that Christians living with same-sex attraction are wrestling with: Am I consigned to a life of loneliness? How do I navigate my friendships? Will my desires ever change? Is there some greater purpose to all this? What comes next, and next, and next? Drawing on insights from the Bible and the experiences of others, Born Again This Way provides assurance and encouragement for Christians with same-sex attraction, and paints a compelling picture of discipleship for every believer. Whatever your sexuality, this book is an inspiring testimony of how a life submitted to Jesus will be fulfilling and fruitful, but not always in the ways we might expect.

LGBTQ people are a gift to the Church and have the potential to revitalize Christianity. As an openly lesbian Episcopal priest and professional advocate for LGBTQ justice, the Reverend Elizabeth Edman has spent her career grappling with the core tenets of her faith. After deep reflection on her tradition, Edman is struck by the realization that her queer identity has taught her more about how to be a good Christian than the church. In Queer Virtue, Edman posits that Christianity, at its scriptural core, incessantly challenges its adherents to rupture false binaries, to “queer” lines that pit people against one another. Thus, Edman asserts that Christianity, far from being hostile to queer people, is itself inherently queer. Arguing from the heart of scripture, she reveals how queering Christianity—that is, disrupting simplistic ways of thinking about self and other—can illuminate contemporary Christian faith. Pushing well past the notion that “Christian love = tolerance,” Edman offers a bold alternative: the recognition that queer people can help Christians better understand their fundamental calling and the creation of sacred space where LGBTQ Christians are seen as gifts to the church. By bringing queer ethics and Christian theology into conversation, Edman also shows how the realities of queer life demand a lived response of high moral caliber—one that resonates with the ethical path laid down by Christianity. Lively and impassioned, Edman proposes that queer experience be celebrated as inherently valuable, ethically virtuous, and illuminating the sacred. A rich and nuanced exploration, Queer Virtue mines the depths of Christianity’s history, mission, and core theological premises to call all Christians to a more authentic and robust understanding of their faith.

This visionary book from one of the most intriguing and unsettling new voices to have emerged from the churches in recent years finds life and growth in surprising places.Barbara Glasson’s widely discussed first book, I Am Somewhere Else, described ‘the bread church’, the inclusive faith community in Liverpool where people gathered to bake bread and worship God together. She has since worked with lesbian, gay and transgendered Christians, with survivors of childhood sexual abuse, with a group of disabled ministers and with other individuals and groups dealing with trauma and displacement. It is in these ‘prophetic communities’ that she has discovered new ways of understanding the transforming power of the love of God.The ‘Exuberant Church is not a church on a ‘journey’, not an ‘emerging church’, but something more explosive and unpredictable and messy, a church undergoing the strange, frightening but liberating process of ‘coming out’. In The Exuberant Church we are invited to a new way of understanding mission and the church. At a time of meltdown, reorientation and confusion, Barbara Glasson sees hope for the churches in communities sometimes seen as threatening and troubling, and in the process of ‘coming out’ something both profoundly human and deeply of God.

Fundamentalists often position homosexuality to be something that a person ?falls into? after straying from the ?good Christian path,? but what happens when a homosexual awakening is part of that path? Jen Austin takes us on a journey of self-discovery that addresses many of the familiar issues that plague the coming out process, and shows why it?s a good thing that the path to wholeness in God isn?t always a straight one. Brokenness that stems from homophobia, judgment, and other outside factors can be effectively overcome with faith, and the healing that rises out of that provides a freedom that no right-wing, anti-gay rhetoric can ever take away.

Left and right, gay and straight, they come from churches with blood-letting differences about the Bible and how to use it, about sexuality and how to express it, about the human heart and how to handle it. Asian and Caucasian, Progressive and Evangelical, like all participants in the project First Be Reconciled, these eight people have come to the table. Like the four-generation journey of the author's family, whose saga unfolds alongside their own, the trails they've walked towards wholeness and oneness and mapped by intolerance and prejudice. Their paths have forked but their veins are awash in the waters that carry them far from each other and the river that summons them back upstream. No table-pounding, no slogan-shouting, no Jesus-amnesia, eight people are telling stories. Coming out and coming to faith and coming of age, eight Americans are reconciling. In the wake of the murder of a cross-dressing teen, American bombs "bursting in air" over Afghani towns, eight Christians are using religion for love.

Coming Out of Darkness is about moving forward in life. In our dark places, nothing is visible. We struggle to find our way. It makes one wonder why they are there and where they are going. Reality doesn't exist, and everything seems to be a lie. Coming out of Darkness is a God-inspired book, written to encourage others and be a witness that there is light at the end of the tunnel. By the grace of God, one can obtain deliverance, forgiveness, and true love while fulfilling the purpose God has willed for them. "For I know the thoughts I think towards you said the Lord, thoughts of good and not of evil to give you an expected end" (Jer. 29:11). Darkness comes to bring fear and doubt in our minds and hearts. But God has not given us the spirit of fear. The Lord has given us power, spirit of love, and a sound mind (2 Tim. 1:7). In the moment when you are about to throw in the towel, God strengthens your faith in him.

Speaking for themselves in their own voices, young people tell of their lives in a fresh, candid and honest manner. They speak of their hurts and hopes.
