Sinossi

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.

    It’s days before Christmas, and Samantha Morgan is in her Brooklyn apartment when her editor, Charlie, shows up. Her publisher, Arthur Wentworth, is throwing a Christmas party and wants Samantha to be the guest of honor. She writes a series of books featuring a female James Bond-type heroine named Sloane Parker, and Charlie is the only person who knows that Samantha is the opposite of Sloane. In reality, Samantha rarely leaves her neighborhood and does her research online. Samantha reluctantly agrees to go. Instead of taking her to Arthur’s house in Connecticut, the driver goes to the airport, and Charlie admits that the party is at Arthur’s new ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This is her worst nightmare. But when a handsome stranger sits next to her on the plane, things begin to look up. She feels comfortable enough to spill all her secrets to him, including all of her fears and the truth about her fake Instagram account. However, when she shows up at the house, it turns out that this man, Drew, is Arthur’s son. Now Samantha is worried that Drew will tell his father about her lies. Over the course of Christmas week, Samantha grows closer to Drew. But when his fiancée, Beatrix, shows up, things get more complicated. As Samantha’s fears of bison and giant icicles subside and her feelings for Drew grow deeper, new fears develop... Will she leave this Christmas adventure broken-hearted? Or will true love prevail?

This book not only gives a realistic picture that confirms hunches and explodes myths, but it provides insight into how the church must change to reach a new and changed world with the hope of the gospel.Readers will find a richly textured mosaic with optimistic and challenging stories.
