Love Is an Orientation : Elevating the Conversation with the Gay Community - Thryft

Bridging the gap between faith and sexuality.

Love Is an Orientation could be a good read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how to reconcile faith and sexuality. Marin's personal experience with the GLBT community in Boystown, Chicago, adds depth to his thoughtful approach in elevating the conversation between Christianity and the GLBT community. The book emphasizes the importance of building bridges from the GLBT community to the Christian community, without compromising faith or one's identity, and offers a fresh perspective on the gospel and spirituality.

Andrew Marin's life changed forever when his three best friends came out to him in three consecutive months. Suddenly he was confronted with the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community (GLBT) firsthand. And he was compelled to understand how he could reconcile his friends to his faith. In an attempt to answer that question, he and his wife relocated to Boystown, a predominantly GLBT community in Chicago. And from his experience and wrestling has come his book, Love Is an Orientation, a work which elevates the conversation between Christianity and the GLBT community, moving the focus from genetics to gospel, where it really belongs. Why are so many people who are gay wary of people who are Christians? Do GLBT people need to change who they are? Do Christians need to change what they believe? Love Is an Orientation is changing the conversation about sexuality and spirituality, and building bridges from the GLBT community to the Christian community and, more importantly, to the good news of Jesus Christ.
