Sexual Sin
Talk about a hot topic these days! Sexual sin appears to be one of the foremost focal points of the news today, and sorrowfully, there’s far too much news about it in the church and among Christians as well. Homosexual sin is so prominently put on display and exhibited before our eyes nowadays, the church can grow hardened and insensitive to the realization that heterosexual sin is likewise deeply displeasing to God. It’s not as if merely being heterosexual guarantees anyone of salvation before God! Let’s focus our cleanup on the household of God. Whether it’s a struggle you personally face, or you’re trying to help someone else with this realm, these resources are ones we’ve known many others have found helpful.

Closing the Window: Steps to Living Porn Free (Tim Chester)

Tim Chester says that we can be captured by a better vision–a liberating confidence that God offers more than pornography does. Moving beyond pat answers or mere willpower, Chester offers spiritual, practical and corporate resources for living porn free. He exposes the false promises of porn and redirects us to the true promises of God.
With assurance of God’s grace and cleansing power, we can change our desires and escape the traps and temptations of pornography. However great the challenge, God’s grace is even greater. And we can come to a place where we no longer feel the need to use porn.
Close the window on porn. And open the door to freedom, integrity and new life.

The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert: Expanded Edition (Rosaria Butterfield)
$11.99Rosaria, by the standards of many, was living a very good life. She had a tenured position at a large university in a field for which she cared deeply. She owned two homes with her partner, in which they provided hospitality to students and activists that were looking to make a difference in the world. There, her partner rehabilitated abandoned and abused dogs. In the community, Rosaria was involved in volunteer work. At the university, she was a respected advisor of students and her department’s curriculum.
Then, in her late thirties, Rosaria encountered something that turned her world upside down – the idea that Christianity, a religion she had regarded as problematic and sometimes downright damaging – might be right about who God was, an idea that flew in the face of the people and causes she most loved.

Homosexuality and the Bible: Outdated Advice or Words of Life?
$5.62As the conversation around homosexuality becomes increasingly hostile on all sides, it can be difficult to know where to stand as a Christian.

R. Nicholas Black addresses both sides of this equation. Challenging easy assumptions about gays and lesbians, he encourages you to build the foundation of your conversation on God’s love for people created in his image. He also examines some of the most disputed passages regarding homosexuality and draws out the fuller story of God’s design for sexuality.

Homosexuality: Speaking the Truth in Love
$5.99“Homosexuality is the hot issue of the day,” says Edward T. Welch in this booklet. “Even more than abortion, it will confront the church throughout this generation, forcing us to listen, study, and respond wisely.” How can we answer claims that the Bible does not prohibit committed homosexual relationships? Or that science proves that homosexuality is genetic, not a chosen lifestyle? Welch supplies us with timely biblical and biological insight into homosexuality. Just as importantly, he calls us to examine our attitudes in order to minister to homosexuals truthfully, compassionately, humbly, and persuasively.
