    A little too clinical
  

*by D***� on Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2021*

It was a good read. Especially if you’re someone who is going to be dealing with the issue of homosexuality in the context of Christianity. I found it a little hard to read because it was a little emotionless and too far removed from conversational. It’s a great resource, but I will find it hard to read again.

    Discussion about sexual identity can be more constructive than the tiresome, narrow and divisive cultural/political debates.
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2013*

As a researcher and psychologist, one of Dr. Yarhouse's greatest contributions to any discussion about same-sex attractions is his ability to communicate with and challenge the Christian faith community. He addresses the usual topics most people are interested in (what causes homosexuality?, can someone change sexual orientation?, how should I respond if someone I love announces a gay identity?, etc.).But he also emphasizes two points I think too many people overlook:(1) A discussion about sexual identity can be more constructive than the narrow (and often divisive) debates about what causes sexual orientation and whether it could be changed.(2) Rather than being marginalized by the church, the sexual minority Christian should be embraced as a valuable member of his or her spiritual community.I believe the following three quotes are representative of the tone and approach you will find in this book . . ."The church doesn't lead with the thought and attitude that Christians who struggle with homosexuality are our people." But it should. - page 157"Questions about causation and change are important" but "the traditional Christian sexual ethic does not hinge on the causes of sexual attraction or orientation." And  "the gospel does not hinge on whether people can experience change of sexual orientation." - pages 163 - 164, 182"When churches value being single not as a stage to 'get through' but as a good state to be in, they can provide a place that is valued and meaningful to the Christian who is also a sexual minority." - page 173

    On Changing the dialog in the church, but not abandoning the Bible
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2013*

This is an excellent, clearly, calmly and reasonably written book forpeople who want to live by the Bible and relate in a loving and truthful wayto same-sex attracted people.Yarhouse says he wants to change the dialog in the church on this topic.Specifically, he calls on the church to change emphasis from always preaching thathomosexual acts are sin, and therefore the homosexual person must seek changefor his or her orientation.He says the emphasis must be on same-sex attracted persons being loved by the church andencouraged to live lives dedicated to and guided by Christ.  Yarhouse isn't saying homosexual acts are NOT sin,nor does he discredit Christian ex-gay ministries that help people diminish same-sex attractions.However, he says complete orientation change is infrequent in these ministries, and in any case,discipleship is the true Christian goal.At present, he says, the church is failing to minister to its same-sex attracted youth and giving its other-sex attracted youthtoo few talking points when they wish to develop healthy conversations on the topic.But a change in emphasis, he says, doesn't mean abandoning a Biblical position.
