As well as exploring Bible passages that talk directly about homosexuality, this new edition frames the whole discussion with Jesus’ general teaching on sex and marriage, as well as what Jesus teaches about finding ultimate satisfaction and happiness. It also challenges the current culture narrative, which inextricably ties sexuality to personal identity, and he shows that the gospel is good news for everyone, whatever their sexual orientation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis sensitive exploration of the Bible’s teaching on sexuality has been written to help both Christians and non-Christians struggling with the Bible's teaching on this issue, whether they experience same-sex attraction themselves or not.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Good Book Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45136283926847,"sku":"98230","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/7731\/0271\/files\/76_276060db-0d7b-4548-a172-71e81d1bb6f3.jpg?v=1721666701"},{"product_id":"what-good-is-god-yancey","title":"What Good is God - Yancey","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJournalist and spiritual seeker Philip Yancey has always struggled with the most basic questions of the Christian faith.

Josh Reeves and Steve Donaldson present a concise introduction to the study of science that explains why scientists in every age have found science congenial to their faith and how Christians in the sciences can bridge the gap between science and Christian belief and practice. If Christians are to have a beneficial dialogue with science, it will be guided by those who understand science from the inside.
