Hope Restored: Searching the Scriptures About Homosexuality

"Hope Restored" was born out of a desire to depict the scriptures in a truthful, historically accurate and biblically sound way about the topic of same-sex behavior and relationships. There are many books about homosexuality and the Bible, but few are as detailed and relevant to today’s evangelical Christian as Hope Restored. Whether you are straight, a friend or family member of a gay person, struggling with your identity, or gay-identified, this work will bring hope to your soul about the loving nature of God as well as his still applicable standards for Christian lifestyles. With some other books written from a Christian perspective, the scriptures and Christian values tend to get watered-down, but God’s word is as relevant today as when it was written—it just needs to be understood in the context of its times, so it can be authentically practiced today. With in-depth exploration of the Hebrew and Greek scriptures, this book brings clarity to a subject long ignored or misunderstood by the church. Hope Restored is a balanced and passionate work that clearly demonstrates God’s loving acceptance of a group of people that Christians have traditionally condemned, and in so doing, calls for a change in attitude and behavior from the family of God.
