By: Rosaria Butterfield

In this powerful book, Rosaria Butterfield uses Scripture to confront 5 common lies about sexuality, faith, feminism, gender roles, and modesty often promoted in our secular culture today.

The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert: An English Professor's Journey into Christian Faith

By: Rosaria Butterfield

Rosaria, by the standards of many, was living a very good life.
Then, in her late 30s, Rosaria encountered something that turned her world upside down-the idea that Christianity, a religion that she had regarded as problematic and sometimes downright damaging, might be right about who God was, an idea that flew in the face of the people and causes that she most loved. What follows is a story of what she describes as a "train wreck" at the hand of the supernatural.

Transforming Homosexuality: What the Bible Says about Sexual Orientation and Change

What Does the Bible Really Teach about Homosexuality?

God and the Gay Christian - a Response to Matthew Vines

By: Rosaria Butterfield

By: Denny Burk and Heath Lambert

By: Kevin DeYoung

Edited by: R. Albert Mohler Jr.

This book answers many of the questions that people pose when Rosaria speaks at universities and churches, questions not only about her unlikely conversion to Christ but about personal struggles that the questioners only dare to as someone else who has traveled a long and painful journey. Dr. Butterfield not only goes to great lengths to clarify some of today’s key controversies, she also traces their history and defines the terms that have become second nature today—even going back to God’s original design for marriage and sexuality as found in the Bible. She cuts to the heart of the problems and points the way to the solution, which includes a challenge to the church to be all that God intended it to be, and for each person to find the true freedom that is found in

Faithful Christians today agree that the Bible forbids homosexual behavior. But when it comes to underlying desires, the jury is out. Some Christians view homosexual desire as morally neutral, while others believe it calls for repentance and gospel renewal. Is same-sex attraction sinful, even if it is not acted on? How we answer this urgent question determines how we counsel brothers and sisters who wrestle with same-sex desires. Denny Burk and Heath Lambert challenge misconceptions on all sides as they unpack the concepts of same-sex orientation, temptation, and desire. They show that ultimately a biblical view gives hope for profound personal change, with patterns remolded and rethought in faithfulness to Christ.

In this very helpful and accessible book a pastor explains the crucial biblical texts addressing the topic of homosexuality, defending why Christians have always believed this to be a sinful way of life. In addition to faithful biblical exposition he also engages in a winsome response to current objections about the biblical teaching.

Some in our contemporary culture are arguing that Christians have
misunderstood the biblical teaching on homosexuality. One of the most outspoken voices seeking to overhaul the Bible’s clear teaching on this issue is
Matthew Vines. R. Albert Mohler assembles a team of scholars to challenge Vines showing that the Old Testament teaches the sinfulness of homosexuality.
