Book excerpt: Is it possible to be gay and Christian? Stacey loves being a Christian. Her best friends are also her church friends. Her favorite place on earth is Bible camp every summer. And she talks to God like they are old friends. But one summer, she meets a girl who turns everything upside down. Is this feeling she has for her more than just friendship? Could it be a crush? Filled with dread, Stacey embarks on a journey to discover what it means to be gay, whether it is possible to change, and how to reconcile her identity with her faith. Will it even be possible? In this young-adult illustrated memoir, Stacey Chomiak tells the true story of her teenage and young-adult years: of heartbreak, family conflict, trying to become ex-gay, wrestling with her faith, and finding love. Uncovering happiness and joy while surrounded by the loneliness of a world that actively excludes her seems insurmountable. Until she learns to love her full self. Then the possibility of being both gay and Christian seems not just possible, but the best answer of all.

Book excerpt: Affirming Faith: A Congregations' Guide to Confirmation, Revised & Updated is a confirmation resource for use by United Church of Christ congregations. Focusing on the UNited Church of Christ Statement of Faith, it relates to Affirming Faith: A Confirmand's Journal, Revised & Updated. Designed for those planning, leading, and participating in a local church's program of faith formation for youth ages twelve to sixteen, the guide includes session and retreat designs with detailed instructions for leading ninety-minute experiences, as well as suggestions for additional activities. A unique feature, "Connecting with the Congregation", offers ways in which the confirmands can be involved more fully in the life of the congregation as they go through the faith-forming process. The Bible is an integral part of the Affirming Faith guide. Particular passages of scripture have been selected for each session, but the emphasis is on encounter with scripture rather than knowledge about scripture. The goal of this resource is life transformed through continuing exposure to the Word of God. (Back cover).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should I respond when a teen comes out? Do I have to tell their parents? What does it mean to be transgender? And how do I talk to a trans youth? These are the kinds of tough questions facing Christian communities everywhere. It's not enough for faith leaders to improvise their way through these questions. Leaders need concrete tools to navigate the LGBTQ+ landscape. Welcoming and Affirming: A Guide to Supporting and Working with LGBTQ+ Christian Youth is one of those tools. A handbook for pastors, youth workers, church leaders, educators, and other adults in Christian settings, the book provides answers to the most pressing questions about sexuality, gender, mental health, safe sex, and more. Written by a team of LGBTQ+ adults, Welcoming and Affirming features first-hand, personal testimonials from queer young adults who have experienced the joys and hardships of being queer and Christian. You'll walk away with a lot of insight, prepared to love, affirm, and accept the LGBTQ+ teens in your community the way God does--exactly as they are. Welcoming and Affirming is a companion book to Queerfully and Wonderfully Made: A Guide for LGBTQ+ Christian Teens.

Book excerpt: Did you know that for the first time in U.S. history, our children are not expected to live as long as we do? Did you know that the American life expectancy has declined for the past two out of three years? The reason - our American medical system is based on the prevention of death from disease rather than the prevention of disease itself. The American sickness-management system waits for you to get sick then scrambles to try to save your life leaving you with chronic symptoms, feeling fractured and unwhole. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Riobé will guide you through the true reasons we're getting sicker and dying sooner. Her journey was borne out of frustration with our American sick-care model, which she studied in medical school and residency. Although this system is critical for acute life-threatening diseases such as heart attacks and appendicitis, it becomes dangerous when we rely on it to prevent diseases or treat chronic conditions, when that's not what it's designed to do. A sick society is doomed to fail no matter how much technology they develop to try to prevent the inevitable. -Find out why your visit with your doctor never seems to reveal the causes of your chronic symptoms and diseases -Understand your body's self-healing mechanisms and how they guide you through the manifestation of early symptoms and warning signs. -Understand why energy-based systems of medicine fused with cutting-edge cellular-based technology can safely and effectively treat fatigue, weight gain, low sex drive, depression, anxiety, and prevent diseases, too. -Debunk common myths about hormones, vitamins, and pharmaceutical drugs so you can make informed health decisions for you and your family. -Explore a vision for a better wellness system that truly seeks to guide you to wholeness so you can thrive and give the world your best! F.A.I.T.H. - Fearlessly Affirming and Intending to Transform Health makes sense out of the chaos that is our current healthcare crisis and provides a path to prevention and wellness based on the sound scientific evidence of energy-based and functional medicine. Join Dr. Riobé on the path to wholeness.

Book excerpt: Foreword INDIES Award Finalist IVP Readers' Choice Award In an age where neither society nor the church knows what to do with gay Christians, Greg Coles tells his own story. Let's make a deal, you and me. Let's make promises to each other. I promise to tell you my story. The whole story. I'll tell you about a boy in love with Jesus who, at the fateful onset of puberty, realized his sexual attractions were persistently and exclusively for other guys. I'll tell you how I lay on my bed in the middle of the night and whispered to myself the words I've whispered a thousand times since: "I'm gay." I'll show you the world through my eyes. I'll tell you what it's like to belong nowhere. To know that much of my Christian family will forever consider me unnatural, dangerous, because of something that feels as involuntary as my eye color. And to know that much of the LGBTQ community that shares my experience as a sexual minority will disagree with the way I've chosen to interpret the call of Jesus, believing I've bought into a tragic, archaic ritual of self-hatred. But I promise my story won't all be sadness and loneliness and struggle. I'll tell you good things too, hopeful things, funny things, like the time I accidentally came out to my best friend during his bachelor party. I'll tell you what it felt like the first time someone looked me in the eyes and said, "You are not a mistake." I'll tell you that joy and sorrow are not opposites, that my life has never been more beautiful than when it was most brokenhearted. If you'll listen, I promise I'll tell you everything, and you can decide for yourself what you want to believe about me.
