Suggested book: God's Grace and the Homosexual Next Door

This is another book I haven't read: God's Grace and the Homosexual Next Door: Reaching the Heart of the Gay Men and Women in Your World by Alan Chambers, but I know enough about it and the author, that I can recommend it with good faith. It is ideal for people wanting to help gay people and understand them better. It is good reading for people who are struggling with same-sex attractions also.

Book description:

Author Alan Chambers--a former homosexual himself--and four of his colleagues at Exodus International offer practical and biblical insights on how both individuals and churches can become a haven for homosexuals seeking freedom from same-sex attraction.
In this comprehensive guide to helping homosexuals, readers will learn about:
  • The roots of homosexuality
  • God's radical grace for sexual sinners
  • Reaching youth both within and outside the church
  • Dealing with fear and ignorance in the church
  • Leading gays to Christ
  • Mentoring homosexuals in the church
  • Three degrees of homosexuality: militant, moderate or repentant
  • Five things not to do in reaching out to gays
and much more about this often perplexing subject.

I like and really respect Alan Chambers. I've read many things by him. I actually pray for him and his family often because I think he is probably a high target of the enemy!
