When a person's romantic inclinations conflict with what they have been taught, how should someone who loves Jesus and believes the Bible react? Given that the advise to "simply don't be gay," which is all-too-often given, doesn't work, Tried to be Straight: Options for Gay Christians was published for those who need answers. Christians who are experiencing these urges need to consider their options and the sources of those options because there are so many different viewpoints. The what? Why does it function? Whose interpretation of the Bible is accurate, and how do we arrive at that determination? Tried to Be Straight provides context and explanations for contentious issues such how we identify ourselves, how Christians might assess biblical defenses of and objections to LGBT inclusion, and how Christian parents and friends ought to react when a loved one comes out. The book delves further into methods like celibacy and organizations and therapies that help people change their sexual orientation, as well as methods for strengthening one's faith in Jesus Christ. Readers of this book will feel more appreciative of God's grace after finishing it. They can have a clearer understanding of the difficult and fruitful spiritual journey open to believers who battle with their sexual and relational needs.
