Loving Homosexuals as Jesus Would: A Fresh Christian Approach Description: In this book, Chad Thompson, a formerly gay man, calls Christians to disarm the gay community by "loving first." Drawing from the life and words of Jesus, Thompson teaches readers how to love and befriend homosexuals before they change--and even if they never change--their sexual orientation. He addresses in detail many common questions surrounding homosexuality: Is being gay a choice, or is it genetically determined?; Can homosexuals change their orientation?; If so, how does it happen? This book includes an appendix of additional resources as well as a useful list of endnotes, therapists, and any Christian struggling with the controversy over homosexuality.

What's So Amazing About Grace? [In "What's so Amazing About Grace?" aware-winning author Philip Yancey, explores grace at street level. If grace is God's love for the undeserving, he asks, then what does it look like in action? And if Christians are it's sole dispensers, then how are we doing at lavishing grace on a world that knows far more of cruelty and unforgiveness than it does of mercy? We speak of grace often. But do we understand it? More importantly, do we truly believe in it...and do our lives proclaim it as powerfully as our words? Through powerful stories, Philip Yancey takes a probing look at grace: what it looks like...what it doesn't look like...and why only Christians can and must reveal the grace the world is searching for.]
["If I could, I would make every Christian on the face of the earth read this! What an amazing book". (DF)]
