Faithful Sexuality

Human Stories about Holy Sexuality as the Beloved People of God

About this book

Our sexuality is a key part of who we are and how we live as God's people. Many have yearned for a resource on this matter that is helpful and useful to lay people, seekers, and ministers. The stories included here come from singles, marrieds, gays, lesbians, parents, teens, young adults, and senior citizens, people of faith who struggle with their feelings and behavior around sexual matters. What honors God? What is acceptable to Jesus? How do the Scriptures inform and shape us? This is not a dogmatic or a denominational treatise but a minister's own personal and pastoral reflections on the implications of God's call in the life of faith. It's a chance to talk out loud with you and provide a resource for living and a catalyst for conversation on what it means to live in God's light and reflect God's love in a holy and hopeful community.
