God Adores You: Beyond Either/Or Thinking to Your Most Fulfilling LGBTQIA Life

“Definitive...honest reflection…particularly relating to meaningful relationships…which lends it distinction.” – The BookLife Prize (Publisher’s Weekly)

College media instructor Karl W. Beckstrand (B.A., journalism; M.A. conflict resolution) has completed most of his bucket list; but his relationships were far from satisfying. Today, he enjoys profound lasting ties.

Are you or someone you love wrestling with faith and LGBTQIA questions? Regardless of marital status or sexual orientation, every person has God-given needs for love and union, including connection with those of one’s own sex. Yet, long-term relating bliss can be elusive for many.

Has anything taken God by Surprise? God not only accepts “queerness,” expressed attentively, it’s part of His plan for joy. God can help us fulfill needs while honoring His will; and loving, generous feelings can replace discouragement, isolation, even addiction.

Beckstrand’s 27th book shares scriptural keys for transforming relationships and creating deep, lasting same-sex bonds. “I hope all who feel attraction to their sex—or any potentially isolating distinction—can learn its positive purpose and expressions; that each person can feel self-love, God’s love, and profound love with others.” Chapters include:

• Is It All about Sex? • What’s Good About Attraction to Your Own Sex? • Are Competing Desires Healthful? • Authentic Identity – The Key to Happiness • How to Not Miss Out • Close Beyond Imagination

Get these concepts plus online bonuses: relating with a gay loved one, coming out (or not), and supporting anyone who questions God’s love. A secular version of this book is titled, Abundant Paths.
