Author Alan Chambers--a former homosexual himself--and four of his colleagues at Exodus International offer practical and biblical insights on how both individuals and churches can become a haven for homosexuals seeking freedom from same-sex attraction.
In this comprehensive guide to helping homosexuals, readers will learn about:
- The roots of homosexuality
- God's radical grace for sexual sinners
- Reaching youth both within and outside the church
- Dealing with fear and ignorance in the church
- Leading gays to Christ
- Mentoring homosexuals in the church
- Three degrees of homosexuality: militant, moderate or repentant
- Five things not to do in reaching out to gays
and much more about this often perplexing subject.
This book was my first and published in 2006. As most authors will admit, my views on this subject have changed dramatically in the decade-plus since it was written. To be clear, I believe everyone has a right to self-determine their own path in coming to terms with their sexuality. However, my experience has shown that sexual orientation change is not possible and any process or person advocating such a change should be avoided entirely.My latest book, My Exodus: From Fear to Grace (Zondervan, 2015) reflects my current views and story.
