Leaving Homosexuality
Jeff Johnston, Focus on the Family
Many people with same-sex attractions choose not to identify as homosexual, lesbian, gay or bisexual. Instead, their primary identification comes from their faith in Jesus Christ. They identify as Christians, followers of Jesus and God’s children. And they choose to live according to biblical truths and values, reserving sexual expression for marriage between a man and a woman. We understand that this may be a difficult struggle, requiring help and assistance from other Christians. Focus on the Family is committed to supporting those who choose this path and the following articles will help explain some of the struggles that those with unwanted same-sex attractions encounter. For those making this journey, and for their families, friends and churches, these articles also give wisdom and point to other helpful resources – articles, books, support groups and counseling referrals.

Love Into Light (Book)
Peter Hubbard
The time is ripe for God’s people to think and speak about same-sex attraction in a way that is both biblical and beneficial. We must reject our fears and misunderstandings and see ourselves together in need of the grace of Jesus. Love Into Light is designed to move the church toward that end. Written from the heart of a pastor with a love for people and a sensitivity to our culture, Love Into Light is your next step toward becoming more faithfully and helpfully engaged with people in your families, in your church and in your neighborhood.

Shattered Dreams, New Hope
Shattered Dreams, New Hope is a curriculum specifically geared torward any Christian parent or caregiver of a child who identifies as gay or transgender. The audience we have in mind is parents who are in distress over their son or daughter’s choices to persist in wrongful belief and sin, yet desire to hold true to biblical view of sexuality and gender. Although much of the content may apply to loving a child who desires to walk in repentance and holiness in the context of their sexual and gender struggle, this material is not primarily geared toward those parents, instead, it is directed towards parents whose child either rejects biblical sexuality or believes they can reconcile their newfound sexuality with the biblical worldview.
