  • The Loyal Opposition: Struggling With The Church On Homosexuality, Tex Sample, Amy E. Delong, editors

  • Calling a Rainbow Nation Home, ET Sunby
Am I going to hell because I am gay? Is homosexuality a sin? Should I remain celibate my entire life? If you or someone you love is struggling with these issues, this book is for you. Follow Reverend Elaine Sundby’s journey as she takes us on her personal quest for truth and self-acceptance—a path that eventually led her to enter the ministry. Reverend Sundby was determined to discover God’s plan for her and equally determined to do what was right in the eyes of God, without taking “the easy way out.”
