Along the way, he provides the biblical teaching and step-by-step help you need to begin this prayer practice for yourself.

The workbook has daily devotions and activities for nine weeks. Some of the devotions help one identify some of the cultural, historical, and familial influences on one’s spiritual perspectives. At times, the activities and reflections might challenge one’s perspective of God, of the Bible, or of certain Bible texts. The general purpose of the workbook is to help gay and lesbian Christians reconcile their spirituality and sexuality, and to live their lives as people reconciled both to God and to their sexual orientation. |
