Homosexuality and the Christian by Mark A. Yarhouse was an interesting read. I am not a homosexual, but I am a Christian. And I know a few homosexuals. This book covers big issues like: What does God think about homosexuality? Whether or not someone can choose or change their sexual orientation. The book also discusses families and how to respond to a child announcing they are gay. It also raises questions for the church and their response to homosexuality. I think this is a good read for anyone who is interested in this subject. Very well written.
About The Book: Mark Yarhouse gives honest and accurate answers to parents and pastors who have questions about homosexuality. Throughout the book, the author uses a new framework for understanding the issue, carefully separating the concept of "same sex attraction" from a "gay identity." In a clear and compassionate style, he explains the research regarding what causes same-sex attraction and whether or not it can be overcome. He also discusses what Christians can do when someone they know opens up to them about their homosexual attractions.
