Why we appreciate this resource: Coming from a position of having same-sex attraction himself, Sam Allberry offers compassionate, clear, and concise answers to the question of whether the Bible really puts boundaries around same-sex relationships.

From the Publisher: “Christians, the church, and the Bible seem to be out of step with modern attitudes towards homosexuality . . .What do we say, and how do we relate to both Christians and non-Christians who experience same-sex attraction? In this short, simple book, Sam Allberry wants to help confused Christians understand what God has said about these questions in the scriptures, and offers a positive and liberating way forward.”

Why we appreciate this resource: Ever wonder how we got where we are? This book examines the historical, philosophical, and technological factors that have shaped our culture over centuries. Why is everything so political? How did the self become the center?

From the Publisher: “How did the world arrive at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how should the church respond? Historian Carl R. Trueman shows how influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of ‘expressive individualism.’”

God broke in and turned her heart toward Him right in her own bedroom in light of His gospel.”

Why we appreciate this resource: Shrier writes not from a Christian perspective but rather an investigative reporter’s perspective. Her research has revealed a lot of misleading information regarding gender transitioning and the permanent decisions being made based on that information.

From the Publisher: “Until just a few years ago, gender dysphoria—severe discomfort in one’s biological sex—was vanishingly rare. It was typically found in less than .01 percent of the population, emerged in early childhood, and afflicted males almost exclusively. But today whole groups of female friends . . . are coming out as ‘transgender.’” A reporter for the Wall Street Journal, Abigail Shrier explores this phenomenon, the dangers of gender transition, and how parents can respond.
