Ron Citlau - Hope for the Same-Sex Attracted: Biblical Direction for Friends, Family Members, and Those Struggling with Homosexuality

I am deeply grateful to my friend Ron for writing this book. He reinforces Gospel hope that has been lost in too many circles, either abandoned for false teaching or set aside as wishful thinking. With selfless honesty and humility, Ron extends the healing Jesus died to make possible.

Insightful and intriguing. Ron Citlau offers a compelling voice not often heard in todays conversation surrounding this topic. Throughout Gods Kingdom Hope for the Same- Sex Attracted will prove to be helpful and inspiring.

Bob Bouwer, senior pastor, Faith Church

Glorious. Without demonizing his opponents, Ron burns off the debris and reveals Jesus to persons impacted by same-sex attraction. Thats everyone. Read and bask in the Hope that redeems the struggle and invites us into a new way of being and loving. Best evangelical book on the subject today. Maybe ever.

When it comes to navigating the complex topics addressed in the pages of this book, Ron Citlau is on the top of my list of people I trust to handle the conversation biblically, compassionately, and pastorally. As you read, you might find yourself agreeing strongly, disagreeing profusely, or somewhere in between. But, wherever you come from on this important and contemporary topic, you will appreciate Rons wisdom, grace, and honesty.

Pastor Citlau has written a helpful book for Christians struggling with homosexuality. He thoughtfully addresses some of the theological errors of our dayincluding the embrace of a gay Christian identity and same-sex marriage. He vulnerably shares his own struggle and gives realistic, biblical hope for those who forsake homosexuality and pursue Christ.

Jeff Johnston, Issues AnalystMarriage, Homosexuality and Gender, Focus on the Family

A must-read for pastors, counselors, lay leaders, and same-sex strugglers! Citlau addresses current popular roadblocks in Christian circles and suggests solid ways toward transformation. He highlights practical ways the body of Christ can aid the struggler in straining forward to what lies ahead... the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:1314).

Anne Paulk, executive director, Restored Hope Network

Ron Citlau bravely supplies compassionate, biblical counsel on perhaps the most divisive issue of our day. He challenges same-sex-attracted Christians not to identify with their temptation, and he calls the church to be their community of love, healing, and family. This is an important book for all same-sex-attracted Christians, and for the people who love them.
