Resources

There are many great resources out there…

Thanks to the movement of people that God is bringing out of LGBTQ, there are more and more great resources for those trying to understand and navigate LGBTQ issues. I have compiled some of my favorites, by topic. Many of the links are clickable. To find the books, just Google-search. We hope these are helpful but make no promises regarding the authors or content featured.
