A Gay Christian Reading List

I know. More gay stuff. Do I ever get tired of talking about it? Well, actually, no. I am obsessed with educating people about this particular issue. Christian people need to know that it's possible to be same sex attracted and also a child of God. Christians need to know how to deal with their gay friends and family members just as Jesus does. Christians need know what it's like to grow up gay in the church. All of the things and more are included in the reading list below. I would encourage you to seek out copies of these books and learn to love and empathize with my people.  Most of these are available on Amazon except where otherwise noted.

1.  "Guiding Families of LGBT+ Loved Ones" - Click on the title to find this one. This is an excellent primer for families and friends to reference. If you go to my church (you know who you are), it is available at Home Pointe for free and as long as supplies last. I may also be able to help you find a free copy.

2. “Messy Grace” by Caleb Kaltenbach

3. “Washed and Waiting” by Wesley Hill

4. “Single, Gay, Christian: A Personal Journey of Faith and Sexual Identity” by Gregory Coles

5. “All But Invisible” by Nate Collins

6. “A Bigger World Yet: Faith, Brotherhood and Same Sex Needs” by Tim Timmerman - may be hard to find

7. “People to be Loved: Why Homosexuality Is Not Just an Issue” by Dr. Preston Sprinkle

8. “Understanding Gender Dysphoria” by Mark Yarhouse

9. “Struggle Central: Quarter-Life Confessions of a Messed Up Christian” By Thomas Mark Zuniga 


This is by no means an exhaustive list. There are other publications available, but these I would recommend as a good start. Happy reading.
