Purchase: Paperback | Kindle | ChristianBook

Synopsis:

How do we apply the essence of the gospel to a gay loved one? In what ways can we better walk with truth and grace alongside a fellow Christian with same-sex attractions?

Holy Sexuality and the Gospel offers theological and practical insights that leads us to find our identity in Christ—not in our sexuality.

Dr. Christopher Yuan explores the concept of holy sexuality—chastity in singleness or faithfulness in marriage—in a practical and relevant manner, equipping readers with an accessible yet robust theology of sexuality. Whether you want to share Christ with a loved one who identifies as gay or you’re wrestling with questions of identity yourself, this book will help you better understand sexuality in light of God’s grand story and realize that holy sexuality is actually good news for all.

My Rating:

This book tackles a topic that is well talked of in the Bible, but looked as taboo in the world...sex. Sex is something that many people struggle with including Christians in the day and age. We all know what the Bible says, but sometimes we either don't truly understand or we choose to disregard its warnings about sex. Not only does it tackle sex in both singleness and marriage, it tackles sexuality.

Dr. Christopher Yuan doesn't hold back in this book. He reveals a lot about sexuality and offers biblical advice. This is not meant to judge, but to be a guide. With less than 200 pages this can be read quickly. There is also a study guide in the back which allows for some great in-depth studies.

I love the scripture references and personal stories shared. I enjoy how raw this book is without being over the top. This book is all about love. It's biblically sound, well-written, grounded in God's love and encouraging to all.

Do I recommend this book? Most definitely! Go grab a copy!

Blessings,

VOTW | Isaiah 41:10 - Ever Present Help

Good morning Gems (& Gents)! This past weekend has been insane in both a good and scary way. I experienced something frightening, but in that situation I felt a sense of peace and contentment that I'd never would have experienced before if my relationship with God wasn't where it is now. As I was thinking of a verse for this week, I came across this one from the book of Isaiah and I knew this was it: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Such a small, yet powerful verse. This is a command and a promise from our Father whether we are in times of despair or in seasons of gladness. Though told this to the people of Israel, this verse is still true to His children today. Let's start off by breaking down some of the words in this verse shall we: Fear : the Hebrew word is yare' meaning to cause to frighten ( affright ); to make or be afraid;

DOI Book Club - Fervent by Priscilla Shirer

Good morning Gems! Today, I'll be sharing with you all one of the exciting things I'll be starting in March and it's a book club! I polled on Facebook and Instagram and had you all vote and the winner was a no-brainer! This is the first Book Club that I’ll be hosting ever and I am so excited. Fervent by Priscilla Shirer won hands down! We’re jumping into the topic of prayer and I’m a big person on reading and learning all that I can about prayer. I don’t know about you all, but my prayer life has its ups and downs. Now for those of you who don’t know, Priscilla Shirer is the actress from the movie War Room ( which I HIGHLY recommend ). She wrote a book for woman based off of the movie. Here’s bit of what to expect from this phenomenal book: “You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn’t gene
