In today's world, the topic of homosexuality seems to be part of daily conversation in the media, in politics, and even inside churches, with pressure to accept one view or the other. And if you're a Christian teen, you may feel overwhelmed by the opinions. New York Times bestselling author Dr. Preston Sprinkle has encountered these same questions, and as a theologian and a college professor he has dealt with these issues firsthand.

Through honest conversation, real-life examples, and biblical research, Dr. Sprinkle unpacks what we can know to be true, and how Scripture's overall message to us today allows us to move forward and find answers that align with God's intent.

Living in a Gray World explores with readers:

• Homosexuality and other related issues, such as what it means to identify as transgender and intersex
• What the Bible says about homosexuality
• How to cultivate a heart for people

Dr. Sprinkle shares biblical truth and compassion about this important topic. This book isn't just for straight students, it's for all students looking for information and guidance. Living in a Gray World is also an educational book that parents can read and discuss with their children.

Reviews
"I'm grateful for Preston's loving, biblical, and relevant treatment on such a controversial topic. Christians can no longer afford to be ignorant on this issue, and Preston does a great job shedding light in a loving manner.' * Francis Chan, pastor and bestselling author of Crazy Love and You and *
"Preston Sprinkle has given teenagers a light for the dark path of knowing how to think about homosexuality. He lovingly and winsomely explains what the Bible says about the LGTBQ community. This conversational style book is a needed and helpful resource for the church." * ELYSE FITZPATRICK, Director of Women Helping Women Ministries *
"This book is hands-down the best resource I've seen on this subject for Christian young people---biblical, grace-soaked, and incredibly practical. So many Christian teens (and their parents!) are confused about, scared of, and yet immersed in a culture where formerly black-and-white lines about sexuality have blurred gray. But rather than fear, judge, or ignore this shift, Preston guides us through Scripture to not only help us see God's best plan for sexuality but, perhaps even more importantly, remind us that we're talking about individual people with unique stories---not just discussing an 'issue.' I cannot recommend this book more!" * Jessie Minassian Resident "big sis" at LifeLoveandGod.com, and author of Crushed, Unashamed, and Backwards Beauty *
"This is the book I have been waiting for! Living in a Gray World approaches the issue of homosexuality biblically and yet with tremendous compassion and care. I wish every teen would read it." * Sean McDowell professor at Biola University and the author of fifteen books, including Ethix: Being Bold in a Whatever World *
