Compassion without Compromise
A Christian Response to Homosexuality

What does the Bible say about homosexuality? Does God truly forbid loving, monogamous same-sex relationships? Are people born gay? Is change possible? How do you help someone who struggles with same sex attractions and/or gender dysphoria? How should Christians respond in a culture that affirms gay marriage and labels anyone who disagrees with homosexuality a hater? What should you do if your friend or family member embraces a gay identity?

Linda’s story, experience, and education have placed her in a unique position to address and answer these questions in Compassion without Compromise: A Christian Response to Homosexuality.
