As she does so, she addresses many of the questions that Christians living with same-sex attraction are wrestling with: Am I consigned to a life of loneliness? How do I navigate my friendships? Will my desires ever change? Is there some greater purpose to all this? What comes next, and next, and next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing on insights from the Bible and the experiences of others,&nbsp;<em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegoodbook.com\/born-again-this-way\">Born Again This Way<\/a><\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;provides assurance and encouragement for Christians with same-sex attraction, and paints a compelling picture of discipleship for every believer.
