Emerging Sexual Identities
$21.99
A thoughtful and orthodox approach to the sexual identity questions of today’s youth
According to a recent Gallup Poll, 20.8% of Gen Z identify as LGBTQ+. As youth culture continues to evolve around sexual identity, Christian leaders, parents, and counselors need practical guidance for ministry and care. Emerging Sexual Identities offers a measured Christian response to the diverse sexual identities that are embraced by an increasing number of adolescents and explains how these identities function in the lives of today’s youth.
Mark Yarhouse and Julia Sadusky bring significant clinical and ministry experience to this timely resource. This comprehensive guide provides:
– clear explanations – help for understanding the new language and categories of sexual identities;
– research-based insights – grounded in clinical experience and current data on Gen Z sexual identity trends;
– practical tools – actionable strategies for pastors, youth workers, counselors, and parents;
– Orthodox Christian perspective – maintains biblical foundations while offering compassionate engagement;
– cultural context – explains how queer theory and cultural shifts have shaped today’s identity landscape;
– relational approach – focuses on accompanying youth through their personal stories and questions; and
– real-world application – addresses actual controversies and challenges in ministry settings.
The book focuses on accompanying, engaging, and ministering to teens navigating diverse sexual identities in the 21st century.
Whether you’re a pastor seeking to understand youth culture, a parent walking alongside your teenager, or a counselor working with LGBTQ+ youth, this book equips Christians with the wisdom and tools needed to minister effectively in today’s complex sexual identity culture.

Playing God : Science Religion And The Future Of Humanity
$26.99Could science one day ‘defeat death’?
What would alien contact mean for humanity?
Has medicine finally found a cure for sadness?
Will AI replace us?
For too long, the ‘science and religion’ debate has fixated on creation, evolution, cosmology, miracles and quantum theory. But this, argue Nick Spencer and Hannah Waite, is a mistake. Religious belief has survived, and thrived, under many different models of the universe. It was never intended to be a competing explanation for the science of any age. Where science and religion really do come together – sometimes furiously, sometimes fruitfully – is over the status and nature of the human. And that has never been more important than today.
Whether it’s the quest for immortality or the search for alien life, the treatment of pandemics or ‘animal personhood’, AI or mental health, abortion or genetic editing, science is making advances that are posing huge questions about what it means to be human, whether we should change ourselves, and how far we should ‘play God’.
These developments are only going to grow in significance. Playing God brings readers up to date with the latest developments but also draws out their moral and religious dimensions. In so doing, it shows how the future of science and religion is inextricably tied up with the future of humanity.
