Description
___________________________________________________________________________

Individuals in our culture approach these issues from many perspectives and the Biblical witness is often distorted or lost altogether. Many respond to sexual sin with harsh judgment, while others accept it with simplistic relativism.

A balanced understanding includes both truth and mercy - being able to apply the message of the Bible in a loving manner. For those who struggle, there is a great need for compassion and grace. For those who wish to minister to those who struggle, there is a great need for wisdom, humility and mercy.

Books in the Proclaiming Truth & Mercy series boil the issues down into understandable ideas and principles. Each book deals with a different specific issue and applies Biblical concepts in practical ways. Written by individuals who have experience ministering into the brokenness of sexual sin and steeped in Scripture, these books offer light in the darkness and hope in despair. Book 1 in this series, The Homosexual Debate and the Church, attempts to provide insight into the controversy surrounding pro-gay theology. It shows the basic flaws of pro-gay theology while pointing out a compassionate response to individuals struggling with same-sex attraction.

Much of this volume is written by John Freeman, President of HARVEST USA, a ministry devoted to partnering with and equipping the Church in bringing the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to transform the lives of those affected by sexual sin.
